FAQ
Common questions.
What is a cost segregation study?
An engineering-based reclassification of building components from the 27.5- or 39-year shell into 5-, 7-, and 15-year property, producing large first-year deductions through bonus depreciation.
Can property owners work with Unlevered directly?
Yes. Owners engage Unlevered directly, and Unlevered prepares, signs, and seals the study. Your own CPA files the return, and you can invite them to your study.
What does OBBBA mean for new studies?
OBBBA restored 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying property. Every study runs the full eligibility check across placed-in-service, acquisition, and contract dates, and applies the correct bonus rate per component, including the TCJA phase-down years.
How long does a study take?
Most studies deliver within 30 days of complete inputs. Complex multifamily can take longer. Every study clears the engineered review first.
What’s a lookback study?
For long-held rentals that never had a cost seg study: the missed depreciation comes back as a §481(a) adjustment on the current return via Form 3115. No amended returns.
Whose name is on the study?
Unlevered signs the study as its preparer; your firm is credited as the one who recommended it. You stay the sole tax return preparer and file from your own software. You’re never signing cost-seg work you didn’t perform.
How does pricing work?
One flat fee per study, billed to the property owner: $2,500 for Basic Study (PDF only) or $5,000 for 3D GeoEng + Audit on a single-unit property, and from $7,500 per multi-unit property. Unlevered prepares every study itself; firms that refer clients pay nothing.
