Real results from real investors

These are actual and representative outcomes from engineered cost-segregation studies. Year-1 deductions are calculated under IRS Publication 5653 methodology with 100% bonus depreciation for qualified MACRS property.

Disclosure: The Sirius Circle case study uses actual figures and is published with client permission. All other case studies are composite/representative — they reflect real property types and basis ranges but do not correspond to a single identifiable client. Tax savings depend on individual circumstances including filing status, marginal rate, passive activity rules, and bonus depreciation elections. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Consult your CPA.
