# Segtax - Cost Segregation Studies for Commercial and Residential Rental Real Estate
> Segtax delivers fully-engineered, AI-powered, expert-reviewed cost segregation studies for commercial and residential rental real estate properties. Cost segregation accelerates depreciation deductions, unlocking significant upfront tax savings for property owners. Segtax serves two audiences: real estate investors/developers who want to reduce their tax burden, and CPAs/tax professionals who want to offer cost segregation services to their clients.
## What Is Cost Segregation?
Cost segregation is an IRS-approved tax strategy that reclassifies components of a commercial or residential rental building into shorter depreciation schedules. Instead of depreciating an entire property over 27.5 years (residential rental) or 39 years (commercial), a cost segregation study identifies assets -- such as flooring, lighting, cabinetry, site improvements, and land improvements -- that qualify for 5-, 7-, or 15-year depreciation. This front-loads depreciation deductions, dramatically increasing cash flow in the early years of ownership.
Any commercial or residential rental property placed in service, purchased, or renovated can benefit. Common property types include multifamily, single-family rentals, retail, office, industrial, medical, hospitality, and mixed-use.
## Who Should Use Segtax
