The Cost Segregation Industry

IRS Audit Techniques Guide (ATG)
In December 2004, the IRS released the “Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide”. The guide discusses the various cost segregation methodologies, tax-deferral strategies, Section 1031 exchanges, and the characteristics of a quality cost segregation study. In reference to the “detailed engineering approach”—which is the approach used at E&M—the IRS states: “In general, it is the most methodical and accurate approach, relying on solid documentation and minimal estimation.”
