WHY COSTSEGLOGIC

The methodology is the same. The way we ship it isn’t.

Asset classification by software, not analysts. drafted from your numbers, not by hand. The interview shapes itself around your property. Same engineering — done the modern way.

No card. CPA-reviewed. Available the moment you finish.

Cost Segregation. Automated.

WHY COSTSEGLOGIC

Six reasons we built it differently.

Quality leads; price is the consequence of better technology, never the differentiator on its own. The methodology hasn't changed in decades — what's changed is who does the work.

FREE IS REAL

The free study is the real study.

Not an estimate. Not a range. Not a quote-to-talk-to-sales. The free run uses the same engine as the paid report and produces real numbers — federal Year-1 deduction, state schedule, schedule. Take it to your CPA. Decide if the full study (Form 3115, CPA review handoff, full workpaper PDF) is worth it for you. Nobody else in the category does this.

TECH-FORWARD

We rebuilt the production, not the methodology.

The methodology is from 1997. The way it’s been delivered hasn’t moved much since. Asset classification runs in software now. The interview pre-fills from your address, your assessor’s record, your settlement statement. The catch-up is drafted, not retyped. Same engineering, modern delivery.

LOW-FRICTION

An interview, not a form.

Cost-seg intakes used to be a 60-field PDF you'd email back to a firm and wait six weeks. Ours is an interview. We ask what your property is, then we ask the questions that property actually needs — STR owners get STR questions, LTR owners get LTR questions, and anything we already know we don't ask twice. The questions stop when the engine has what it needs.

DEFAULTS OR ITEMIZE

Take the defaults, or itemize. Same idea as your 1040.

Every input has a default sourced from industry-typical allocations and the IRS . Run the study on the defaults and you ship a real, defensible report — that’s the standard-deduction path. Or itemize: refine purchase price, condition, the asset list line-by-line. Same study either way. Same precision either way. Your time, your call.

THINGS OTHERS SKIP

You file your state taxes too. We provide state specific schedules too

Federal is the easiest part. Most cost-seg shops stop there. But state conformity rules vary, and your tax bill is federal plus state. We fold your state's conformity factor and your marginal rate into the schedules, model recapture year-by-year for what comes back when you sell, and draft Form 3115 with the §481(a) catch-up when there's a look-back. Your study covers what you file.

SHOW OUR WORK

Every IRS code cited. CPA tier ships your data as Excel.

The report cites the IRS code section behind every asset class. Every dollar ties to a schedule. On the CPA tier, your numbers also ship as an Excel workbook for full data review — line by line. Hand it to your CPA. Hand it to a second CPA. The math holds up either way.

HOW WE’RE BUILT

Modern infrastructure. Same rule book.

AI

Software does the asset classification — the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide encoded as the rule book.

Computer vision

Computer vision processes the property photos the IRS accepts as documentation.

Form 3115

Form 3115 generates from your numbers, with the §481(a) catch-up drafted, ready for your CPA's signature.

THE DELIVERABLE

The report is the product.

Every CostSegLogic study ships as a workpaper-grade PDF. Federal Year-1, state schedules, recapture year-by-year, Form 3115 on the paid tier. CPA-tier studies also include an Excel workbook of the data for line-by-line review.

  • Federal Year-1 deduction with
  • Your state's conformity factor at your actual marginal rate
  • Year-by-year recapture schedule for sale, conversion, or partner buyout
  • Form 3115 with §481(a) catch-up drafted (paid tier)
  • IRS rule citation on every classification
