WHY IT MATTERS
Move eligible basis into faster recovery periods.
High land values, varying property types and separate California depreciation treatment make accurate basis and documentation important throughout the state. Regional pages below connect owners to the most relevant property examples and intake information.
Plain English: you are not creating a new deduction. You are identifying when supported pieces of the property may be depreciated.

SHOW ME THE NUMBERS
Statewide preliminary screen
Illustrative only. This assumes a 37% federal marginal rate where shown and that the owner can currently use the deduction.

- Fixed proposal before work
This is a timing illustration, not guaranteed permanent tax savings. California commonly requires a separate depreciation schedule because it generally does not conform to federal bonus depreciation.
DOES IT FIT?
Strong candidates usually have four things.
✓
California income-producing property
✓
Remote records are available

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions.
Do you have an office in every city listed?+
No. We provide statewide service through remote intake and arrange local property documentation or inspection when the paid scope requires it.
Can a California portfolio use one engagement?+
Yes. Multi-property work can be coordinated under one proposal when ownership, timing and records allow an efficient shared process.
Is the free estimate a completed study?+
No. It is an illustrative screen using the facts you provide. No engineering takeoff, professional certification or tax opinion is included. Technical work begins only after a signed and paid engagement.
Does my CPA need to approve the study first?+
No. It is smart to ask whether you can currently use additional depreciation, but the paid study does not require advance CPA approval. Your CPA makes the final filing decision.
Do you guarantee tax savings?+
No. A study accelerates the timing of eligible depreciation. Results depend on basis, property facts, placed-in-service dates, passive-loss rules, tax rates and the owner's filing position.
