Accuracy

Before you choose a firm, research cost segregation studies, and be prepared to ask the firm some questions. We’ve mapped out some things you should ask and be aware of before you decide to hire a firm to conduct this analysis. After all, it is your money; you should be able to take what’s yours and not have to return it because the analysis wasn’t conducted correctly.

Compliance

As you know, U.S. tax code dictates the rules you must follow. Because cost segregation is part of the tax code, there are suggested methods you need to follow if you are to conduct this type of analysis. You need to be sure that the cost segregation firm stays in compliance with all rules specified by U.S. tax code. Why should you be penalized for this third-party firm not following all the rules?

Specialization

You wouldn’t go to a doctor that didn’t know everything there is to know about your ailment; you would likely choose a specialist. So why should the cost segregation firm you hire be any different? You want to go to the firm that eats, breathes, and sleeps everything taxes. They need to know tax codes inside and out, and have researched past court cases on these related topics. Do your research and ask the questions so you can pick the firm that is the most knowledgeable about cost segregation analysis.

You want to go with a firm that has in-depth tax knowledge and a substantial amount of rave reviews from past clients. You want to choose the firm that will defend their study in the event of an audit.

The best advice we can give you when choosing a cost segregation firm is to ask the questions, get answers and get your money back.
