A property owner who bought a $1.6 million commercial building can increase tax deductions by hiring a cost-segregation specialist like Mark. The specialist breaks down the building into individual components, assigns values, and identifies which items the IRS lets you depreciate faster, creating a detailed list that boosts deductions beyond standard building depreciation.

Well, here's the thing. She bought the building for $1.6 million, right? Okay. And so when we bought the building, in order for her to get a better deduction, because just buying the building, this is all she gets, right? But if you hire Mark to do a cost segregation study, Mark comes in, he looks at the building and he says, your building has all these things in it. And he provides us with a price for all those things. And then he provides us with what the IRS is willing to let you write them off for so that we can build a grocery list.
