• Does the property have an adjusted cost basis of $1,000,000 or more?
• Will the property be held for at least one year?
• Property owner must be a “for profit entity” and pay Federal Income Tax.

• Isolating eligible cost values from initial concept through design and construction of the project.
• Separate costs and components that are production or tenant specific and disclose on Certificate of Real Estate value to exclude stated values from Real Estate Market Value – thereby reducing real estate taxes – in perpetuity.

• Depreciation: Personal property can be deducted in shorter terms (5, 7, or 15 years) than real property (27.5 to 39 years)!
• Existing Property: A business may be able to carry back net operating losses to a previously profitable year and obtain a refund paid in that year!
• Lower Tax Payments: A business may be eligible to receive lower property and transfer tax savings.

• Cost Segregation and the New 5 Year Carry Back Rules – President Obama signed H.R. 3548, The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 into law. One of the provisions of the act is the extension of a Five Year NOL (Net Operating Loss) carry back to most businesses for 2008 or 2009.
