Alternative Minimum Tax Consequences Are Not a Result of Cost Segregation

Alternative Minimum Tax consequences are not a result of cost segregation. Nor is cost segregation accelerated depreciation. Decisions regarding cost segregation and accelerated depreciation are independent by the four options as illustrated in the following matrix:



Cost Segregation Straight Line Depreciation




No Cost Segregation Straight Line Depreciation




Cost Segregation Accelerated Depreciation




No Cost Segregation Accelerated Depreciation



Accelerated depreciation increases the amount of depreciation taken in early years of ownership but triggers alternative minimum tax consequences. The alternative minimum tax consequences are severe enough that many investors avoid accelerated depreciation.

A cost segregation study delivers the benefits of more depreciation sooner without the unfavorable alternative minimum tax repercussions. There are no alternative minimum tax consequences resulting for using cost segregation. Cost segregation with straight-line depreciation increases depreciation by 50% to 100% during the early years of ownership without triggering alternative minimum tax penalties.
