Tax Depreciation Optimization

Filling Out Tax Form

Many companies misclassify fixed assets in their accounting systems, which can lead to missed depreciation deductions or incorrect asset depreciation. Navig accelerated depreciation deductions under tax laws can be complex due to several factors: limited invoice details for real estate construction assets, minimal oversight from the Tax department, acquired business assets causing tracking issues, and major ERP systems struggling with accurate tax reporting amid changing tax laws.

 

Depreciation optimization results in additional deductions that generate significant cash flow and reduce tax liability at both the federal and state levels in the current tax year. “Missed” depreciation can be captured in the current tax year via Section 481(a) adjustment, utilizing an automatic Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method – No need to amend prior tax returns!

 

Depreciation Optimization studies will put your company in the most advantageous tax position for all currently capitalized assets.  To ensure all prospective assets are appropriately capitalized, Centiv offers Tax Depreciation Outsourcing services.

Tangible Property Regulations Review

In September 2013, the IRS and Treasury Department introduced final Tangible Property Regulations, also known as Repair Regulations, which affect all taxpayers who improve, replace, or acquire depreciable property. Many companies tend to over-capitalize costs for tax purposes by following financial accounting rules, which can be less favorable than the guidelines in the Repair Regulations.

With their expertise, Centiv can conduct a review of your current policies to ensure compliance with the Tangible Property Regulations.
