Accelerate your depreciation schedule
A Cost Segregation Study (CSS) is a tax savings tool that divides a building into structural and non-structural elements. This permits a shorter depreciable life for portions of the building. Shorter depreciable lives create more depreciation in current years, which means increased cash flow.
A full-service approach to CSS
CHA’s accounting, engineering, and construction team is highly trained and qualified to perform cost segregation studies. Our full-service approach is unique because the IRS requires that these studies be performed by qualified tax and construction experts. CHA has both under one roof.
How do I get started?
CHA will conduct a no-charge, in-depth feasibility analysis to estimate the potential tax savings based on your depreciation schedule for the current year and a brief description of the property type. Once we derive a positive evaluation, CHA will perform an extensive CSS on the property to determine the actual savings and tax deductions that you can claim.
