In an OZ, accelerated depreciation stops being a loan from your future self

Outside an OZ, cost segregation accelerates deductions you partially repay at sale through recapture. Hold a qualifying OZ investment 10 years and the basis steps up to fair market value — appreciation and depreciation recapture can be excluded. The deduction you take in year one never comes back to bite.

Sponsors & Fund Managers

Depreciation is part of your investor story. Make it a permanent one.

  • Accelerated depreciation flows to investors from year one — and the 10-year OZ hold can eliminate the recapture that normally claws it back at exit
  • A study supports the land/building split behind your substantial-improvement test
  • Investor-ready schedules and workpapers for your K-1 season

  • White-label options for firms serving multiple OZ funds

Controllers & CFOs

Your fixed-asset register and our study speak the same language.

  • Trial-balance-driven basis: the bridge from your TB total to depreciable basis is explicit and editable
  • Exports tie to the penny — buckets reconcile to basis on every schedule
  • One re-run when documents change; no black-box adjustments

The New Opportunity Zone Reporting Rules Ask for Data a Cost Segregation Study Already Produces

Treasury and the IRS proposed Opportunity Zone information-reporting regulations on September 11, 2026 (REG-116506-25). Qualified Opportunity Funds would report, per census tract, how much of their property is real property — a line drawn by excluding tangible personal property under §1.48-1(c), which is the same split a cost segregation study produces. Nothing is due for 2026, and comments close October 16.

Section 754 and Cost Segregation: How a Partnership Buy-Out Creates New Depreciable Basis for the Incoming Partner

When one partner buys another out — or an estate inherits a partnership interest — and the partnership has a §754 election in place, §743(b) creates a positive basis adjustment for the transferee. A cost segregation study of the underlying real estate lets that adjustment ride the 5-, 7-, and 15-year buckets. Purchase-triggered adjustments after January 19, 2025 also qualify for 100% bonus depreciation on the short-life portion. Inherited adjustments do not.

Section 754 Inside a QOF: How §743(b) Basis Adjustments Turn a Cost Segregation Timing Benefit Into a Permanent One

A Qualified Opportunity Fund is a partnership. When one LP sells or transfers their interest and the fund has a §754 election in place, §743(b) creates a positive basis adjustment for the transferee. A cost segregation study allocates that adjustment across recovery periods — and inside an OZ fund held ten years, the §1400Z-2(c) FMV basis election at exit erases the depreciation recapture, turning the accelerated depreciation from a timing benefit into a permanent one.

Your OZ deal has a depreciation story. Let's quantify it.

The engine behind every study

Meet Beverly

Beverly is our proprietary AI engineer — the reason a ClickDrag study lands in days, not months, at a fraction of the traditional cost. She does the engineering-grade work of a full cost segregation team, and she never gets tired of reading the fine print.

Reads every document

Beverly ingests construction invoices, AIA pay applications, trial balances and closing statements and extracts the cost detail line by line — no sampling, no guesswork.

Classifies to the right life

Each component is sorted into its correct recovery period — 5, 7, 15, 27.5 or 39-year — using IRS ATG-aligned rules tuned to the property type.

Checks her own work

Every study is reconciled across three surfaces — the report, the Excel exhibits and the PDF — so the numbers tie out to the basis before anything reaches you.

Built and owned in-house

Beverly is our own engine, engineered and continuously trained inside ClickDrag — not a third-party tool with a logo on it.

Every ClickDrag study is built around Beverly — reviewed by our team, delivered to you and your clients.
