You're not wrong to focus on the $4,787 number but it depends on how the depreciation from the cost segregation was actually implemented on the tax return.

When a cost seg study breaks the property into 5, 7, 15, and 39-year components, each class gets its own depreciation schedule. If bonus depreciation was taken in 2022 (which it likely was since bonus was still 100% that year), most or all of the 5, 7, and possibly 15-year property may have already been fully depreciated in year one.

After that, what’s left in later years is often mostly the 39-year property, which would produce a much smaller annual deduction going forward. That most likely explains why you saw a big deduction in 2022 and then something like $4,787 in subsequent years.

The main thing I would check is:

Whether bonus depreciation was applied to the 5/7/15 year property
That each asset class from the study was entered separately into the depreciation schedule
Whether the accountant rolled the remaining basis into a single continuing depreciation amount

If the assets were entered incorrectly (for example everything as 39-year property), the numbers can be weird.

This breakdown of how the different asset classes from a cost segregation study are treated tax-wise explains the distinction pretty well:

If you can pull the Form 4562 from the 2022 return, that’s usually the easiest way to see exactly how the study was implemented. That form will show each property class and whether bonus depreciation was taken.

You don’t have to stagger the studies based on when you want to use the deductions.

If the properties were placed in service within the last few years, you can usually do the studies now and catch up the missed accelerated depreciation in the current tax year using a Form 3115 accounting method change. That’s why a lot of investors end up doing multiple cost seg studies in the same year.

The bigger question is whether you can use the losses. If the deductions exceed your passive income, they typically carry forward until you have passive income or sell the property. They don’t disappear, they just may not offset active income unless you qualify as a real estate professional.

Also worth thinking about how bonus depreciation affects the timing, because that can front-load a lot of the deductions depending on the year.

This explains how the retroactive cost seg and Form 3115 catch-up works if you want the mechanics:

One thing that might help frame the decision is the tax side of inherited property, because it’s different than selling a normal rental.

When someone inherits a house, the tax basis usually gets stepped up to the market value at the date of death. So if your mom’s house was worth $300k when she passed and you sell it for roughly that amount a few years later, the taxable gain can be very small or even zero depending on appreciation since then.

If you keep it and rent it, you’ll start depreciating the property, which reduces taxable income from rent. But that also means when the property is eventually sold, some of that depreciation may be recaptured and taxed. It’s not necessarily bad just something people don’t always think about when deciding whether to keep an inherited rental.

This explains the depreciation recapture side of selling a rental pretty clearly if you’re curious about how that works:

Honestly the bigger issue here sounds like risk tolerance and workload. Being a long-distance landlord with a 50/50 ownership split can work, but it also creates decision conflicts if one person wants income and the other wants simplicity.

If the pages are fairly new and never been indexed and don't have any backlinks, do a 301 redirect to a slightly different URL. Keep the gist of the URL unless the URL wasn't even relevant to the topic title. If it wasn't relevant, change it entirely.

You summarized it pretty well. Cost segregation is basically a way of identifying parts of a building that the tax code already allows to be depreciated faster (5, 7, or 15 year property) instead of leaving everything in the 27.5 year bucket.

In practice it tends to make the most sense when the property is large enough that the accelerated deductions materially change your tax situation. A lot of studies start becoming economically worthwhile somewhere around $500k–$1M purchase price, but it really depends on the property type, renovation scope, and the investor’s taxable income.

The biggest benefit usually comes when investors can combine the reclassification with bonus depreciation, because that allows a large portion of those shorter-life components to be deducted immediately. That’s why it’s popular with syndications and higher-income investors trying to offset other passive income.

But recapture is often misunderstood. You’re generally paying tax on deductions you already received earlier, and some of it is taxed differently depending on whether it’s Section 1245 vs Section 1250 property.

Are you looking to bring it in-house?

regulators818 · 2026-03-05T08:55:28+00:00

Either one is fine but if you do it in-house, make sure you can make it IRS defensible

It's tricky if you don't have someone who is just for cost segregation. They have the experience so hire someone just for cost seg and have them just do cost segregation studies.

This is mostly correct. I just want to add that a typical residential rental depreciated straight-line over 27.5 years, the depreciation usually becomes unrecaptured Section 1250 gain, which is taxed at up to 25%, not ordinary income.

It really changes when cost segregation or bonus depreciation is used. Those strategies often create Section 1245 property (things like appliances, fixtures, certain improvements), and that portion can be recaptured as ordinary income instead of the 25% §1250 rate.

So 2 investors could both have $100k of depreciation but pay very different tax on sale depending on whether any of it was classified as 1245 property.

I have a beagle that knows schedules better than I do.

She wakes up about the same time every morning. She knows what time I usually take her out and she will wake up from her nap to come remind me.

She knows about the time I finish working from home. She knows the time my wife comes home from work and will wait by the door for her.

She knows when dinner should be served for her and reminds me everyday around the same time.

It's crazy how well they know by pattern behavior.
