Why cost segregation works in Tennessee
Tennessee has no general income tax. Nashville's rapid growth, Memphis's logistics dominance, and the broader state's healthcare and tourism economy drive heavy cost segregation activity. An engineering-based cost segregation study reclassifies components of your Tennessee property from 27.5- or 39-year real property into 5-, 7-, and 15-year MACRS class lives. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), 100% bonus depreciation has been restored for qualifying property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025 — meaning every dollar of accelerated property identified can be deducted in year one.
