Best cost segregation companies in 2026

Compared by published price, property fit, and what is left for you and your tax preparer.

By CostSegregationMatch · Company facts checked October 6, 2026

There is no single best cost segregation company. The best one for you depends on your property and on how much of the work you want to do.

Here is the short answer:

• Small rental, and you will enter the data yourself: CostSegregation.com from KBKG. Its example price is $495 for a rental with a $750,000 study basis, excluding land.
• Small rental, and you want an engineer to check it: Cost Seg EZ Engineer Reviewed ($895) or R.E. Cost Seg Rapid Report (from $950).
• You want the company to do the study: R.E. Cost Seg (from $2,320), Cost Seg EZ (from $2,500), or CSA Partners (from $3,000).
• Large or complex building: get quotes from KBKG, CSSI, Madison SPECS, Engineered Tax Services, and Capstan.
• You need a number fast: Cost Segregation Guys says it sends a quote within 5 hours.

Best cost segregation companies at a glance

A cost segregation study sorts the parts of your building into groups that can be written off faster on your taxes. Companies sell that study in three ways. You can enter the details into software, have an engineer check your answers, or have the company prepare a detailed study. You and your tax preparer still handle the tax return.

Start with the group that matches the help you want.

How to read the prices: "Example" is a price the company shows for one sample property. "From" is a starting fee, so yours can be higher. "Quote" means the company prices each property. None of these are quotes for your property.

Study basis means the depreciable cost being analyzed, excluding land. It can include the building allocation, capital improvements, and other basis adjustments. It is not simply the purchase price or the remaining value after prior depreciation. Ask your tax preparer which amount the provider needs. See IRS Publication 551.

Fully engineered, by quote

"Ask" means we did not find it on the company's own pages on October 6, 2026. It does not mean the company lacks it.

The quote companies each have a button in their profile below.

Find the offers that fit your property

A cheap offer only helps if your property fits it. Type in what you know and the list below sorts itself. Use the study basis confirmed by your tax preparer or provider. A result means the offer is within the limits this tool could check; it is not the company accepting your property. Missing details stay marked for confirmation.

This compares services for property used in a business or to earn rental income. A home used only personally cannot be depreciated. If your use is mixed or has changed, start with the IRS depreciation guide and your tax preparer.

A worked example. Say you own a single-family rental.

• You paid $900,000, with $170,000 allocated to land.
• The building allocation is $900,000 − $170,000 = $730,000.
• You added $20,000 of capital improvements before the property first went into rental service in 2023. The building and improvements entered service together.
• Your tax preparer confirms a $750,000 study basis: $730,000 + $20,000. These are the only basis items in this example, and the improvements are counted once.
• The house is a straightforward, acquired single-family rental, not a condo, and is 2,400 square feet. You are open to any study type or inspection.

Here is what the tool shows:

So five offers are within the limits checked here, and two more need a scope answer. The next question is what each one really costs. This example screens published service limits; it does not calculate depreciation or decide whether the owner can use a deduction.

What the study fee leaves out

The study fee is not always the whole bill. Two extras to check are audit support and Form 3115 preparation.

Audit support. This is help if the IRS asks about the study. Some companies include it. Some charge for it.

Form 3115. This is the IRS application for a change in accounting method. It may be needed to change an established depreciation method on a prior-year property. An earlier rental date alone does not decide the filing route; your tax preparer does. Some companies will prepare it for a fee. Some leave it to your preparer. See the IRS Form 3115 instructions.

Here is the same $750,000 rental from the example above. It was first rented in 2023, and for this example the owner's tax preparer says Form 3115 is needed.

The math: $895 + $195 = $1,090. $950 + $600 = $1,550. $2,320 + $600 = $2,920.

Three things to take from this:

1. The $495 software has the lowest known subtotal in this table. But you do the data entry, and the form is not prepared for you. These are not complete, comparable quotes.
2. "From" prices can go up. The two published R.E. Cost Seg starting subtotals differ by $1,370 ($2,920 − $1,550). Your actual gap could be smaller or larger. The fully engineered package adds a virtual inspection and more detailed study work; the price difference does not prove a bigger tax result.
3. Unknown is not zero. Where a fee or inclusion is not published, ask before you compare.

Software, engineer-reviewed, or fully engineered: which do you need?

Pick the simplest type that fully covers your property and that your tax preparer will file from.

Is a $495 software study good enough?

Sometimes. It depends on your property and your tax preparer.

Here is what we know. The IRS audit guide does not prescribe preparer credentials or require one study method or report format. Its audit guide for cost segregation says a quality study is accurate and well documented. The first thing it lists is a preparer with expertise and experience. It also recommends field inspections, especially for acquired properties with limited records. An IRS letter confirms that the guide sets no required credentials.

Here is what we do not know. We have not seen how any company's study holds up in an audit. Nobody can promise that for you.

A simple rule:

• Simple property, inside the tool's limits, and your preparer says yes: software can fit.
• Big renovations, mixed use, or a larger or unusual building: start with a full-service engineering proposal. Engineer-reviewed offers still have property and renovation limits.
• A preparer who needs more documentation: ask what is missing before choosing the next level.

Ask your tax preparer one question before you pay: "Which kind of study will you file from?"

The 10 cost segregation companies, one by one

The order follows the type of study, from software to full service. It is not a ranking.

KBKG: software for smaller buildings, quotes for bigger ones

KBKG sells two very different things. Keep them apart.

CostSegregation.com software. This is for acquired properties with a study basis under $1.5 million, with conflicting wording at the exact boundary. It covers condos, townhomes, single-family homes, multifamily, and ADUs. It also covers commercial types like warehouses, storage, offices, hotels, and restaurants.

The site shows $495 for a residential example at $750,000 in basis. It shows $1,295 for a commercial example at $1,000,000. Your price moves with your basis and property type. You pay when you download the report.

Reports include study-related audit support and up to 5 corrections after checkout. For prior-year assets, the FAQ says the analysis includes a Section 481(a) calculation. That supports the catch-up work for Form 3115; the form itself is not prepared or filed for you.

The trade-off: you do the work of gathering and entering the details.

Confirm first: the homepage says "up to" $1.5 million and the FAQ says "under." If you are right at $1.5 million, ask. The software is designed for acquired properties. The FAQ describes a way to include improvements completed in the same tax year, but says later improvements with different service dates are not the situation it was built to handle. Get the provider and your tax preparer to confirm that scope before paying.

See CostSegregation.com pricing

KBKG full-service study. If your building is over $1.5 million in basis, KBKG sends you to its service team for a custom quote. That is the software handoff, not a published minimum for full service. KBKG describes work on acquisitions, construction, and renovations, using records, blueprints, and a physical property inspection. It says its studies include audit support. Ask for the delivery date, Form 3115 scope, and the audit-support term, cost limits, and representation terms in writing.

KBKG calls itself the #1 cost segregation company in the country. That is its own claim.

DIY Cost Seg: see your estimate before you pay

DIY Cost Seg is an online form. The company says it takes about 5 minutes and the report is instant.

• Residential, single-family through fourplex: from $495
• Commercial, and residential with 5 or more units: from $1,295
• Fixing an input mistake later: $49

The homepage lists maximum prices of $1,795 residential and $3,695 commercial. Its live report form instead lists $995 and $2,690. Confirm the price shown for your property before payment.

You see the company's estimated first-year result before you buy the full report. That gives you a number to review with your tax preparer; an estimated deduction does not establish the tax benefit you can use.

Audit help costs extra. Audit Assistance is an optional purchase-time add-on, with no initial price confirmed. The company works with your EA, CPA, or tax attorney and cannot represent you directly. Its posted terms require notice within five business days of the first IRS correspondence about any audit, before you contact the IRS, plus detailed property photos and videos. Missing these conditions can void support. Travel costs can be extra, and its separate audit page also allows charges for unforeseen work. If you decline the add-on, later help is discretionary and starts at $1,995. That is not the price of the initial add-on.

One thing to know: its homepage's meta description uses the phrase "IRS Approved." That is not evidence of IRS approval or endorsement of this company or its reports. The IRS guidance on study quality does not certify this provider.

The company says it has done more than 15,000 studies since 2001.

The FAQ says it can refer you to accountants who prepare Form 3115 for an additional fee. That work is separate from the report; the fee is not published.

Confirm first: your exact report price, the Audit Assistance price and conditions, and the separate accountant's Form 3115 fee.

Cost Seg EZ: three study levels with published pricing

Cost Seg EZ publishes two fixed fees and a starting price for its Fully Engineered service. Its Fully Engineered studies are powered by sister brand MVO.

Check which number sets the limit. The homepage and FAQ use purchase price, while the report comparison labels the figure "Basis." A $1.1 million purchase with $200,000 allocated to land exceeds the published purchase-price limit for DIY and Engineer Reviewed, even though the building amount is $900,000. Ask which number governs before ruling either lower-priced level in or out. Fully Engineered has no such published dollar cap.

There is one more boundary to confirm: the homepage says renovations must be under $100,000 for Engineer Reviewed, while its FAQ says up to $100,000. Ask at exactly $100,000.

The Fully Engineered level lists a virtual or in-person inspection.

The company says the IRS has accepted 100% of its studies, and it advertises lifetime audit protection. Those are company claims, not independently verified results. On DIY and Engineer Reviewed, the $195 add-on says it will answer IRS questions about its study and work with your tax professional. The report flow says declining the add-on means you do not receive that support. Fully Engineered lists audit protection as included.

The DIY and Engineer Reviewed report flow says Form 3115 preparation and filing are not provided. Your tax preparer handles that work.

Confirm first: which eligibility number governs, whether an in-person visit costs more, and the Form 3115 scope and fee for Fully Engineered.

R.E. Cost Seg: two clear levels and a priced Form 3115 add-on

R.E. Cost Seg is useful because it tells you a lot before you call. It has two offers.

Rapid Report, from $950. You fill out a detailed questionnaire. The company runs a model and an engineer reviews it. There is no inspection. It takes about 5 business days after you pay and finish the questionnaire.

It is for smaller residential rentals:

• Up to four units, with identical or substantially similar layouts, uses, and service dates
• Basis below $1.2 million and renovations below $50,000; confirm either exact boundary
• Under 3,500 square feet; confirm whether the limit applies per unit on a multiunit property
• Straightforward design and common components, with an owner able to complete the questionnaire

Confirm first: its pages word these limits two ways. One says "$1.2 million or less" and another says "under." Same for the $50,000 limit. One page gives the square-foot limit per unit and another does not. If you are near a limit, ask. Its blog also gives the Rapid Report time as 5 to 10 business days.

Fully Engineered Study, from $2,320 residential or $2,730 commercial. You send documents and do a 30 to 60 minute virtual inspection. An in-person visit costs extra. It takes 15 to 20 business days after your documents and inspection are done.

Get a free Fully Engineered proposal

Audit support, both offers. The company will write answers about its study. It says it does not represent you before the IRS, testify in court, prepare or amend your tax return, or defend positions outside its study.

Form 3115. Preparation is an optional $600 per property at standard timing. The company says a rush fee may apply near tax deadlines. You or your tax preparer remain responsible for signing and filing the form.

Sources: Rapid Report, Fully Engineered Study, services, and Form 3115 preparation.

CSA Partners: a published starting fee for multifamily and commercial

CSA Partners says its study fees begin at $3,000. The final fee depends on the size and complexity of the property. It offers a free benefit analysis first.

A study typically takes 3 to 4 weeks from the day you sign up. The company says that includes an on-site inspection "when applicable."

Its property list covers multifamily, office, hotels, retail, restaurants, industrial, self-storage, and healthcare. If you own a house or a small rental, ask if it takes your property.

Get this in writing: its study page says free audit support lasts 36 months after the study. Its About page says it lasts as long as you own the property. Those two do not match. Ask which one is in your contract.

The company says it has finished more than 30,000 studies.

Confirm first: the audit-support term, the inspection for your property, and Form 3115.

Cost Segregation Guys: a fast quote and your choice of inspection

Cost Segregation Guys does not publish a price. It says it sends your estimated savings and a quote within 5 hours.

You choose a virtual study or an on-site visit. The company says the report comes in 3 to 7 business days. Its FAQ says 1 to 2 weeks. Ask which one applies to you.

It says full audit support is included at no charge, and that it has done more than 12,000 studies. It lists short-term rentals, multifamily, retail, office, industrial, hotels, and medical buildings.

Its Form 3115 page describes guidance and supporting documentation. It does not clearly establish who prepares or files the form, or what that costs.

Confirm first: the price, the real delivery date, exactly what audit support covers, and any Form 3115 preparation fee. Ask for the name and credential of the person who will sign your report.

CSSI: an on-site inspection and Form 3115 preparation on request

CSSI is a good one to call if you want an engineer to walk your property. The company says its engineers inspect on site and review more than 150 building parts.

Its service page says properties should have a cost basis of at least $200,000, but a FAQ on that same page also describes properties of at least $150,000 as potential candidates. Treat that as a boundary to confirm, not a reason to rule out a smaller property automatically. It works on commercial buildings and on rentals, including short-term rentals.

There is no price list. You get a free estimate first. A study takes about 3 to 6 weeks after CSSI receives all appropriate documents.

The company says audit defense comes at no added cost. It says it has completed more than 65,000 studies over 23 years.

Confirm first: the fee, what audit defense covers, and the fee for Form 3115 help. Its own comparison says it prepares Form 3115 on request. Ask whether that is included in your fee and who files it.

Request a CSSI analysis

Sources: CSSI cost segregation, Form 3115 guide, and its comparison describing Form 3115 preparation.

Madison SPECS: a price range you can see before the sales call

Madison SPECS prices each property, but its FAQ gives you a ballpark. It says a typical study costs $4,000 to $11,000, and that fees are fixed and based on size and complexity.

It does a free feasibility analysis first. If it does not see enough value, it says it will tell you before you spend anything.

Its homepage describes an on-site tour by an in-house engineer. It also sends a draft of the study to you and your accountant before it is final. That is a useful step. Your accountant can ask questions while changes are still easy.

The company says it has 20 engineers around the country. It gives no set delivery time.

Its CPA-partnership page lists a completed Form 3115 and ongoing help with questions or audits. Confirm that those deliverables are included in your own engagement; a partnership description is not a price promise for every customer.

Confirm first: the delivery date, travel charges, the Form 3115 fee and filing responsibility, and the cost, duration, and limits of audit support.

Request a Madison SPECS analysis

Sources: Madison SPECS homepage, FAQ, and CPA-partnership offering.

Engineered Tax Services: engineering studies for bigger or more involved properties

Engineered Tax Services, often called ETS, does not publish its own prices. It says most professional studies cost $3,000 to $12,000. That is a general statement about the industry, not its price list.

Its timeline is typically 4 to 6 weeks. That covers the property inspection, the engineering work, and the final report. Larger or complex properties can take longer.

The company says its studies include audit-defense support at no additional charge. That does not establish coverage for unrelated parts of your tax return. It describes on-site inspection and Form 3115 support, without clearly pricing completed-form preparation or filing. It offers a free analysis and a calculator.

Its FAQ describes roughly $500,000 in depreciable basis as a point where studies generally make economic sense, while saying smaller properties can benefit. That is provider guidance, not a hard minimum or an IRS eligibility rule.

Confirm first: your fee and inspection scope, when the delivery clock starts, what "full audit defense" covers, and whether Form 3115 support includes preparation or filing.

Request an ETS analysis

Capstan Tax Strategies: site visits and a long report for larger properties

Capstan is aimed at bigger jobs. It says good candidates have a depreciable basis over $1 million or renovations over $300,000. It adds that smaller properties can benefit too.

The company describes in-person site visits for its standard service and reports with more than 100 pages. It also offers a separate desk review for simple new construction, using drawings, ledgers, invoices, and photos without an on-site visit. Ask which study is proposed for your property. It offers a free estimate of benefits before you sign.

It says no-cost audit defense is included "up to the field agent level." That is the first IRS examiner. Ask what happens if a case goes past that.

Capstan says it has done more than 10,000 studies in all 50 states. It does not publish a fixed study price, but lists a 30-day turnaround from the site visit to report delivery.

It also offers Form 3115 documentation as an add-on performed by its Tax Director at your CPA's request. The fee is not published.

Confirm first: the fee, the study type and delivery date, the Form 3115 documentation fee and filing responsibility, and audit help beyond the field agent.

How to check a cost segregation company before you pay

You cannot test a study before you buy it. You can check these seven things.

1. Who signs it? Ask for the name and credential of the person who prepares or reviews your report. Then look them up.
2. What method do they use? Ask them to explain it in plain words. A vague answer is a warning sign.
3. Can you see a sample report? Ask for one with the names removed. Look for a list of building parts with costs, a section that explains the method, and support for the asset classifications.
4. Does the study add up? The allocated costs should reconcile to the study basis, with land separated and improvements counted correctly. Your preparer should be able to follow the numbers.
5. How is the fee set? A fixed fee in writing is easier to compare. The IRS audit guide tells examiners to closely scrutinize studies priced as a share of the tax benefit.
6. Which number sets your price? Purchase price, tax basis, and basis excluding land can differ. Ask which amount the provider uses for its fee and eligibility limits.
7. When does the clock start? "Five days" can mean five days after you pay, after your paperwork is in, or after the inspection.

How do I check a credential?

The American Society of Cost Segregation Professionals, or ASCSP, is an industry group. Its top credential is CCSP. Its requirements include at least seven years of direct study experience, an exam, recommendations, and review of two redacted reports.

The credential belongs to a person, not a company. The IRS does not require it, and ASCSP membership alone does not mean someone holds CCSP. If a company says its people hold it, ask for the name and check it.

Check an ASCSP member

What does "audit support" really cover?

It means different things at different companies. Here is what each one says.

Ask every company the same question: "If the IRS questions this study, exactly what will you do, for how long, and at what cost? What stays with my tax preparer?"

Get the answer in writing.

Compare your cost segregation quotes

Once you have two or three quotes, line them up. The lower study fee is not always the lower bill.

Here is a made-up example. These are not prices from any company.

Quote B's study costs $900 more. Its total is $100 less.

That only settles the fee. You still need to check that both quotes cover the same work.

Use the tool below with your own numbers. Tap "Load example" to see the table above worked out.

Do you like spreadsheets better? This sheet has the same lines.

Download the quote comparison sheet (CSV)

One more check. If two companies show you very different deduction estimates, do not just pick the bigger one. Make sure both used the same price, land value, dates, and renovations. A bigger number can come from different inputs, not better work.

Questions to send before you sign

Send the same questions to each company. Then the answers are easy to compare.

1. Pick one or two offers from the list above.
2. Give each company the same basic facts about your property.
3. Ask for the fee, the work, and the support in writing.
4. Show the answers to your tax preparer before you pay.

We do not send this for you, and we never see your answers. You contact the company yourself.

Before you pay: five questions for your tax preparer

A company can fit your property and the study can still be a poor fit for your taxes. Ask your tax preparer these first.

1. Can I use the extra deductions this year? A study can move depreciation deductions earlier; it does not create extra depreciable basis. Passive-activity and at-risk rules can limit or delay the deduction you can use. Disallowed passive losses generally carry forward, so a larger deduction may not cut this year's tax. See IRS Publication 925.

Here is the math in plain terms. Say a study gives you $50,000 of additional deductions this year compared with your current depreciation schedule, all of it is usable now, and all of it offsets income taxed at 24%. That is a $12,000 reduction in current federal income tax: $50,000 × 24%. It is not a guaranteed refund or $12,000 of permanent savings. This simple example leaves out study fees, state taxes, and later-year effects.

2. What is my real basis? Land cannot be depreciated. Ask your preparer to separate land, the building, capital improvements, and any other basis adjustments. A later improvement can have its own basis and service date. See IRS Publication 551 and Publication 946.

3. Do my property and dates qualify for 100% bonus depreciation? Under current federal rules, qualifying property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025 is generally eligible for 100% bonus depreciation. This can apply to eligible shorter-life components in a used building; it does not make the entire building or land immediately deductible. Acquisition rules, including written binding contracts, prior use by the taxpayer, related-party purchases, carryover basis, and elections can change the result. Ordering a study today does not reset an older property's acquisition or service date. Ask about your state's treatment too. See IRS Notice 2026-11, Publication 946, and the used-property acquisition rules.

4. Do I need Form 3115? You may, when changing an established depreciation method. Your prior filings and the kind of change matter; an amended return or another correction may apply instead. Ask who works out the numbers, who prepares the form, and who signs and files it. See the IRS Form 3115 instructions and Publication 946.

5. What happens when I sell? Depreciation reduces adjusted basis, which can increase taxable gain when you sell. Depending on the asset and transaction, part of that gain may be taxed under depreciation-recapture rules; not every part is taxed the same way. Ask your preparer to compare the current benefit with the expected holding period and sale. See IRS Publication 544.

If the answers are fuzzy, wait. The companies will still be here.

How we chose and checked these companies

How we chose. We picked 10 companies that cover all three study types and that publish enough to describe fairly. Each one has a named company, a specific study, and a real next step. This is a short list we picked. It is not every company in the country. Being left off is not a judgment.

How we checked. On October 6, 2026, we read each company's own pages. We wrote down the price, the limits, the inspection, the timing, and the audit support. Tax facts come from IRS sources.

What we did not do. We did not buy a study. We did not test one. We did not interview customers or review finished reports. When this page says a company "says" something, that is the company's claim.

Why there are no scores. A study that is perfect for a fourplex can be wrong for a warehouse. A single score would hide that.

Why "best" lists disagree. Many are published by a company that is on the list. On the day we checked, R.E. Cost Seg's list put R.E. Cost Seg first, and CSSI's list put CSSI first. That does not make them wrong. It does mean you should check who wrote any list, including this one.

Money. Every company link on this page is unpaid today. If that changes, the link will be labeled. Payment cannot change the order or the facts.

Questions about choosing a cost segregation company

What is the cheapest cost segregation company?

The lowest prices we found are $495. That is the example price at CostSegregation.com for a rental with a $750,000 basis, and the low end at DIY Cost Seg. Both are software, so you enter the data. Cheapest only helps if your property fits and your tax preparer will use the report.

Are national companies better than a local firm?

Not by default. Size does not tell you who will work on your study. Ask a local firm the same seven questions. Many national firms work in every state, and several inspect by video.

Is a remote study the same as a DIY study?

No. "Remote" is about how the property is inspected. "DIY" is about who does the work. R.E. Cost Seg's Fully Engineered Study uses a video inspection, but the company's engineers do the study.

Which company is best for an Airbnb or short-term rental?

Use the same rules as any rental. A price under $1 million is not enough to establish fit. Check the provider's purchase-price or basis rule, condo policy, renovations, unit count, floor area, and service dates. CSSI and Cost Segregation Guys both list short-term rentals among the properties they work on. Whether the deductions help you this year is a question for your tax preparer.

How long does a cost segregation study take?

Software providers describe reports generated after data entry; gathering the inputs takes extra time. The engineer-reviewed offers here publish 3 to 5 business days, with R.E. Cost Seg counting from payment and a completed questionnaire. Published full-study examples include 3 to 4 weeks at CSA Partners, 4 to 6 weeks at ETS, and 30 days from the site visit at Capstan. Cost Segregation Guys says 3 to 7 business days on one page and 1 to 2 weeks in its FAQ. Confirm the start point and your actual delivery date.

Can my CPA do the study?

Some accounting firms do. Many do not. Madison SPECS says in its FAQ that most accountants send this work to a specialist. Ask your CPA. If they refer you to a company, ask why that one.

Is a cost segregation firm different from a consultant or specialist?

People often use company, firm, and provider interchangeably. A consultant or specialist may perform the study, advise your CPA, or introduce you to another firm. Ask who does and signs the work, who you contract with, and which service you are buying: software, engineer-reviewed, or fully engineered.

Do I have to give you my phone number?

No. You can use this page and its tools without an account, email, or phone number. A company may ask for your details when you request a quote on its site.
