Is Real Estate Cost Segregation available in Minnesota?
Cost Segregation, an essential tax planning strategy used by businesses to accelerate depreciation deductions, can indeed be utilized in Minnesota. This state, known for its vibrant cultural scene and breathtaking natural landscapes, provides a conducive environment for companies to take advantage of this advantageous technique. By identifying and classifying various components of a commercial property, such as electrical systems, flooring, and HVAC, businesses can allocate costs more effectively and reap the benefits of shorter depreciation periods. Minnesota's business-friendly atmosphere thus allows enterprises to optimize their tax savings and divert resources towards further growth and development.
Does Minnesota Conform to Federal Bonus Depreciation Rules?
Minnesota's treatment of bonus depreciation differs from the federal standard and necessitates adding a modification of 80% of the bonus depreciation claimed at the federal level when calculating state taxable income.
However, tax laws and regulations may change over time, so it's essential to verify the current status with up-to-date sources or consult a tax professional.

There are diminishing returns to performing a study the longer you own and depreciate a property. Contact us to determine if your property is a fit for a cost segregation study.
If you are planning to sell the property in a taxable transaction a cost segregation study may not make sense because of recapture.
We generally recommend you hold a property for at least 3-5 years. However, if you are planning to enter into a like-kind exchange (non-taxable transfer of your property for another property) you will not have depreciation recapture issues until you sell the replacement property.
It's essential to differentiate between active income, earned through employment or business activities, and passive income, derived from investments or rental properties. Unless you are a Real Estate professional, you may not apply losses from a Cost Segregation to offset your W2 Income.
However, in the case of short-term rentals, income generated from renting out a property is generally considered passive. Yet, if the taxpayer actively manages and maintains the rental property, there may be an opportunity to offset this passive income against their active income. Consulting with your tax professional is advisable to determine your eligibility for such adjustments.
Yes, The cost segregation study serves as a valuable tool for your CPA to optimize property depreciation. It is a one-time process with no specific timeframe for completion. If you intend to leverage the study for a particular tax filing, it remains valid for that tax year as long as the property was placed in service within that same tax year or prior. The report holds its validity as long as it is submitted before you file your taxes, irrespective of the year in which the study was conducted.
The best time to perform a cost segregation study is within the tax year that the building is purchased or construction is completed.
