Maximize your income tax savings on Massachusetts commercial properties with an engineer-certified cost segregation study. 100% bonus depreciation is back — see your estimated savings in 30 seconds.
Does not allow bonus depreciation for state purposes.
Important for Massachusetts property owners: While you still get the full federal benefit of cost segregation (100% bonus depreciation on your federal return), Massachusetts does not conform to federal bonus depreciation for state tax purposes. A cost segregation study is still highly valuable — most of the savings come from the federal deduction.
These are the property categories we see most often from Massachusetts 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, Massachusetts 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.
Massachusetts does not conform to federal bonus depreciation. You still receive the full federal benefit (typically the majority of total savings), but must compute state depreciation under Massachusetts's rules. Your CPA handles this; our report provides the data they need.
