A residential study often moves tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars of deductions into year one. Run the free estimate to see your range. That is cash you keep this year, working for you.

Commonly quoted elsewhere

$4,000 to $11,000

Quote-only. You book a call just to learn the price.

Your price, published by bracket

Starts at $2,500

Same engineered work. Your bracket's price is the price.

Why a fixed, published price beats a quote. A quote hides the number until you are on a sales call. A flat fee you can see up front keeps us honest and keeps the study independent. You know your cost before you decide, and it never moves.

Software vs engineered

A $495 software estimate vs an engineered study.

DIY software tools now sell cost segregation for a few hundred dollars. For some properties, that is fine. Here is what each path gives you, side by side.

Who checks the evidence

A $495 software estimate

An algorithm. It runs on the numbers you type in. Nobody looks at the property.

Our engineered study

People. We review your date-stamped photo evidence, and a second tax professional reviews every study.

What you get

A $495 software estimate

An auto-generated depreciation schedule.

Our engineered study

A roughly 91-page report with 42 itemized parts, 57 court and IRS authorities, and photo plates.

Audit support

A $495 software estimate

Usually none, or sold as an extra.

Our engineered study

Written audit defense with every study, plus The Audit Defense Pledge, in writing.

CPA acceptance

A $495 software estimate

Varies. Your CPA may ask for backup the software cannot give.

Our engineered study

A filing-ready package. We publish the full sample report, and if your CPA has questions about our work, we answer them.

An honest note. If your property is small and simple, a software estimate may be all you need. Run our free estimate and see.

Optional add-ons

Add only what you need.

Extras you can add at checkout. The standard study is document-based. A site visit is required for property worth more than $1.5M, and optional below that. We will recommend the catch-up package when your property qualifies for it.

Site visit

Required above $1.5M

Our standard study is document-based: photos, plans, and the records you upload. A site visit, where a pro measures and photographs the short-life parts in person, is required for any property worth more than $1.5M, Bigger properties carry bigger dollar allocations, so we hold them to a higher evidence standard. Below that, you can add it as an optional upgrade for a more precise study.

Add at checkout

Form 3115 catch-up package

Own the property since a prior year? Form 3115 is the change-of-accounting-method statement that lets you claim the missed depreciation all at once. We draft the full schedule. We will tell you if it fits your situation.

An hour with a tax professional

Book a one-hour call with an Elevated tax professional to walk through your study, your filing, and your next move. Great if your CPA wants to talk it through too.

Pricing questions

Straight answers.

Why publish the price at all?

Most firms make you book a call to learn the cost. We publish bracket pricing instead: find your exact price on the slider above, no quote call. No contingency, no hourly creep, no surprise add-ons.

How is my residential price set?

By your property value. This is published bracket pricing: the slider above shows the exact price for each bracket, no quote call. Studies start at $2,500 and step up as the property gets more valuable. We confirm your final price on the engagement letter before any work begins.

What if my property is worth more than $1.5M?

Then it is not self-serve. Larger properties need a custom scope and a required site visit, so the slider switches to a consult option. Book a short call and we will size the study and send a fixed quote.

What about commercial property?

Small commercial is coming soon, and mid commercial is fully custom. For both, book a time to meet with us. We will scope the work and send a fixed quote.

What if I need a change after delivery?

One revision included within 90 days of delivery. If you need more changes after that, or the property facts have changed, we quote the extra work for you before we start it.

Is there a rush option?

Yes. A 45-day rush is free when the delay is on our side. We only charge a $500 rush fee when you pull back the timeline mid-engagement.

Fee disclosure. Our fees are flat and fixed. They are not based on the tax position taken, the size of the deduction, or the result of any IRS exam. This keeps the study independent, as the IRS guidance prefers.

You cannot lose money on the study itself. Every price above includes The Audit Defense Pledge, in writing. Lose an audit on our study, with our numbers reported correctly, and we refund the study fee.

If the law moves, your schedule moves with it. If Congress changes the bonus depreciation rules, we update your depreciation schedule free.
