New York Bonus Depreciation Rules
Does not allow bonus depreciation for state purposes. Requires addback of federal bonus depreciation.
Important for New York property owners: While you still get the full federal benefit of cost segregation (100% bonus depreciation on your federal return), New York 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.

How Cost Segregation Works for New York Properties
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 for property acquired after January 19, 2025, New York property owners can deduct the entire reclassified amount in the first year.

Who Prepares Your New York Study
The IRS standard
The IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide lists “Preparation by an Individual with Expertise and Experience” as the first element of a quality study: knowledge of the construction process, experience in cost estimating and allocation, and command of the tax law that governs property classification.
Every Caliber Cost Segregation Professional is CCSS-certified by the National Board of Cost Segregation Specialist (NBCSS). When you compare providers, look past the lowest quote and the quickest turnaround — ask who prepares the study, what credential they hold, and who signs it.
