D.C. has its own conformity rules. Check current status with your CPA.
District of Columbia partial conformity: District of Columbia accepts the federal classification but requires an addback of bonus depreciation with ratable recovery for state purposes. You still receive the full federal benefit (typically 80-90% of total savings), and your CPA uses our report to compute the state adjustment.
These are the property categories we see most often from District of Columbia investors. CaliberSeg supports all 14 property types — if yours isn't listed here, it's still covered.
Average basis range: $1.2M–$4M+
Properties here command premium basis, which typically produces higher absolute reclassification dollars — and larger first-year tax savings — than lower-cost markets.
A cost segregation study identifies building components that can be depreciated over 5, 7, or 15 years instead of the standard 27.5 years (residential) or 39 years (commercial). Common reclassifiable components include flooring, cabinetry, electrical wiring, plumbing fixtures, HVAC distribution, parking lots, landscaping, and site improvements.
With 100% bonus depreciation permanently restored by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, District of Columbia property owners can deduct the entire reclassified amount in the year of purchase. On a typical $1M commercial property, this means $200,000–$400,000 in accelerated deductions — translating to $70,000–$150,000 in income tax savings at a 37% marginal rate.
Partially. District of Columbia accepts the federal classification but requires an addback of bonus depreciation with ratable recovery over a multi-year period for state purposes. Your federal benefit is unaffected — and the federal benefit is typically 80-90% of total savings.
