Bonus Depreciation Conformity: Does not conform to federal rules
New York does not conform to federal bonus depreciation for state purposes. However, the federal savings from cost segregation are typically very significant given New York's high property values. Investors should maintain separate depreciation schedules.
New York's massive rental market–from Manhattan's premium properties to Buffalo's affordable multifamily and Long Island's suburban rentals–offers unmatched scale for real estate investors. A cost segregation study can help New York property owners accelerate depreciation and offset significant tax liability. SMF Cost Segregation Advisors provides comprehensive, IRS-ready studies designed to maximize deductions across the Empire State.
In New York, the most common candidates are single-family rentals, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and small apartment buildings (1-10 units). Properties with extensive site improvements–such as parking lots, landscaping, fencing, and outdoor amenities–tend to yield the highest percentage of accelerated depreciation.
Yes, provided the depreciable building basis (purchase price minus land value) is at least $150,000-$200,000. With 100% bonus depreciation now permanent, the first-year tax savings on a single New York property often exceed the study cost by 5-10x.
You'll need the property address, original purchase price or closing statement, the date it was placed in service as a rental, and any renovation invoices. Building plans are helpful but not required–our engineering team can work from a virtual walkthrough for New York properties.
Federal cost segregation benefits are calculated at the federal level. However, New York may or may not conform to federal bonus depreciation rules. In non-conforming states, you may need two depreciation schedules. Your CPA can determine New York's current conformity status.
The tax savings are realized when you file your tax return for the year the study applies to. For look-back studies on older New York properties, the catch-up deduction is claimed on the current year's return via Form 3115.
For New York 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.
