Two tax programs that put money back in your business.
Cost segregation and the R&D tax credit are IRS-recognized programs most owners aren’t aware of. One free review tells you whether either applies to you.
The two programs, in plain language
Cost Segregation
Standard rules depreciate a building over 39 years. An engineering-based study separates faster-wearing components — flooring, electrical, paving — into 5-, 7-, or 15-year classes, and 100% bonus depreciation generally lets those be deducted in full in year one.
Example: if 25% of a $1 million building qualifies, that’s roughly a $250,000 deduction this year instead of over four decades.
Worth reviewing for property at $500,000+. Past purchases may qualify for a catch-up deduction — no amended returns required.
R&D Tax Credits
A dollar-for-dollar reduction in the tax you owe — not just a deduction — for improving products or processes through trial and error, prototyping, testing, or custom problem-solving. Common in the trades and manufacturing, and the work counts even when it failed.
What counts: staff wages for qualifying work, supplies used in prototypes and testing, and a portion of outside contractor fees.
Newer business? Qualifying small businesses can apply up to $500,000 per year against payroll taxes — before they’re profitable.
Own property and solve problems? Many businesses qualify for both.
