About Cost Seg Associates, LLC (CSA)

Objective The primary objective of Cost Seg Associates (CSA) is to provide our clients with a strategic tax-savings tool by having our professional engineering and team perform an engineered Cost Segregation Study. This Study provides real estate owners the opportunity to reduce their current income taxes and increase their cash flow and do it all in a manner that is approved by the IRS!  Our team will identify, segregate and reclassify personal property costs (termed "Section 1245 Property" by the IRS) and appropriate land improvements currently being depreciated over 27.5 or 39 years into shorter depreciable periods of 5, 7 snd 15 years. This accelerated write-off increases your non-cash depreciation expense and reduces or eliminates the taxable income you generate from that building. Our Study report will meet the 13 requirements outlined in the IRS' Cost Segregation Techniques Guide. The concept of cost segregation is simple, the process is complex, but the results are significant! We have found that 15 - 50% of every building should be depreciated over a period other than the traditional 27.5 or 39-year period. This highly specialized cost segregation service applies to both individuals and companies who have purchased, constructed, expanded or remodeled for-profit commercial buildings. With engineered cost segregation studies many building owners have found a tool that can defer income taxes for many years and thus increase cash in their business today. Significant cash! Cash that could be used to expand your business, pay down debt, make repairs, or simply buy something your business has always needed!
