Most of what we do at ETS comes down to three strategies, and each one works a little differently.

Cost segregation creates deductions. Our engineers break a building into its components so shorter-life assets like lighting, flooring, and site work can be depreciated over 5, 7, or 15 years instead of 27.5 or 39.

The R&D tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar credit. If your business develops or improves products, processes, or software, those qualified research expenses may count, and our engineers help identify and document them.

A 1031 exchange defers capital gains when you sell investment property and reinvest in like-kind property. Pair the replacement property with a cost seg study to help maximize depreciation going forward.

With bonus depreciation permanent at 100 percent, the question isn't 'do I need to rush' anymore. It's 'which year do I want this deduction to land in.'

That's a planning conversation, and it's a much better one to have than a deadline scramble. But it only works if there's a cost segregation study behind it — bonus only applies to the shorter-life assets a study actually identifies.

CPA firms ask us this a lot: what does actually partnering with ETS look like, beyond just sending a referral?

It starts with a dedicated contact who knows your firm. Add in co-branded materials for your clients, webinars and CPE content your team can use directly, and a portal that tracks every referral end to end so nothing falls through.

It's built to make specialty tax feel like part of your firm's offering, not an outside vendor you occasionally mention.

Curious what that would look like for your firm? Visit https://zurl.co/MrRJk

Before you hire anyone for a cost segregation study, ask these three questions.

Did an engineer actually walk the building, or is this a desktop estimate from a spreadsheet? Is the cost broken down line by line, or is it a category-level guess? And if the IRS asks how you got to the number, is there someone who can answer that, or does the trail stop at a PDF?

Most of the difference between a real study and a shortcut shows up in those three answers.

Three quick signs a property might be worth a cost segregation study.

You bought, built, or substantially renovated it within the last few years. It generates rental or business income (this doesn't work for a primary residence). And the purchase price, after subtracting land value, is at least a few hundred thousand dollars.

None of these guarantee a study pencils out, but if all three are true, it's worth fifteen minutes to find out.

Save this for the next time it comes up. Follow for more tax strategy, no fluff.

The hard part of specialty tax advisory isn’t the tax law. It’s knowing your clients well enough to spot when a strategy like cost segregation applies.

With the Engineered Tax Services Affiliate Program, CPAs and advisors flag the opportunity and make the introduction. Our engineers and tax specialists handle the study. No new hires, no new department, no technical expertise required.

October 15 closes out extended returns for the year. Individual returns (1040) and C corporations (1120) that filed for an extension are due.

With that deadline wrapping up, now is the time to look ahead. If you have a client who bought, built, or renovated property this year, a cost segregation study started now puts the numbers in hand for year-end planning, well before next filing season.

Don’t wait for the next deadline to come up fast. Send us a message to get a head start on year-end.

Every CPA and real estate professional has had this moment: a client mentions a property purchase, a renovation, a new piece of equipment, and something in the back of your mind says there might be a tax opportunity there.

You don't have to chase it down yourself. As an ETS affiliate, you flag it, make the introduction, and we take it from there. No new department, no new hires, no cost segregation expertise required on your end.
