The filing deadline is not the planning conversation.
Entity classification, deduction preservation, and state nexus decisions must be made before the year closes—not reconstructed at filing time.
Structure decides what survives an audit.
Cost segregation and accelerated depreciation are only available when the holding entity is classified correctly before acquisition. Retrofitting structure after the fact forfeits the deduction.
Multi-state operations create nexus obligations that most preparers flag only after a state notice arrives. We map exposure at the start of the engagement, not the end.
Three disciplines. One integrated structure.
Cost Segregation & Depreciation
State Nexus Management
Entity Classification & Deduction Preservation
Component-level asset classification accelerates depreciation schedules. The analysis must happen at acquisition—entity classification and cost segregation studies are not retroactive instruments.
Economic nexus thresholds vary by state and entity type. We identify filing obligations before a state notice arrives and structure operations to limit unintended nexus creation.
The wrong entity classification forfeits deductions that cannot be reclaimed. We review structure before transactions close, not after the IRS disallows the position.
The planning conversation belongs in January.
If your current preparer starts the conversation in April, your deduction structure has already been set by default. Reach out before the year's decisions are made for you.
