Bonus Depreciation Conformity: Does not conform to federal rules
Rhode Island does not conform to federal bonus depreciation. Under R.I. Gen. Laws Section 44-30-12, full addback of IRC Section 168(k) bonus is required for both individuals and corporations, with depreciation taken over standard MACRS life on the state return. The federal benefit, where the vast majority of cost segregation savings live, is unaffected, and reclassified assets still depreciate faster on the Rhode Island return under MACRS.
The rental market in Narragansett reflects the broader dynamics shaping Rhode Island's real estate landscape. Whether you own an STR, single-family rental, or small multifamily building, understanding local market trends can help you time your cost segregation study for maximum impact.
For Narragansett investors, the typical ROI ranges from 5x to 20x the cost of the study, depending on property value and type. A single-family rental with a $300,000 building basis might generate $20,000-$30,000 in first-year tax savings from a study costing $1,750-$2,750.
For most residential properties in Narragansett, we conduct a virtual site visit via FaceTime or video call. This is faster, less disruptive to tenants, and produces the same quality results as an in-person visit.
The best time is as soon as the property is placed in service or after a major renovation. For Narragansett properties acquired in the current tax year, completing the study before your filing deadline maximizes the first-year benefit.
In Narragansett, the most common candidates are single-family rentals, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and small apartment buildings (1-10 units). Properties with site improvements like parking lots, landscaping, and fencing tend to yield the highest accelerated depreciation.
Yes. Renovation is an ideal time to engage a cost segregation provider. You can segregate both the original building and new renovation costs. Old components being removed may qualify for a Partial Asset Disposition write-off.
Land is non-depreciable, so higher land values reduce the depreciable basis. In high-land-value areas of Narragansett, a $500,000 property might only have a $200,000 building basis. We use defensible methods to establish the land allocation for maximum benefit.
