Cost segregation studies must be done by a third-party engineering firm and can be applied to both new and older properties. Recapture tax is a potential downside of cost segregation when selling a property, but the tax rate is lower than regular income tax. Cost segregation can benefit limited partners in syndication deals by allowing them to claim a portion of the depreciation on their K-1 tax document. Real estate professionals and owners of short-term rentals can use cost segregation to offset their W-2 income.
