Executive summary
This study reclassifies a portion of the property's depreciable basis from 39-year nonresidential into shorter recovery periods, accelerating deductions into year one under current bonus depreciation rules.
Basis of this study. This study covers 2212 Willow Bend Ave # B, a condominium unit placed in service Jan 1, 2021, operated as a short-term rental. The entire property is in scope at 100% business use. Depreciation runs on the 39-year transient-occupancy schedule, applied to a depreciable basis of $537,200 ($252,800 land excluded from $790,000 total). The residual structural shell is classified as 39-year nonresidential real property because the property is operated as transient lodging. Ownership is the unit plus a 65% undivided interest in the regime's common elements, including the land. The land excluded above is the documented land allocation adopted for this unit, which reflects that common-element interest. Condominium ownership does not reduce the land allocation to zero.

Short-life property is deducted in full now; only the 39-year shell spreads forward.
How the asset depreciates
This year's deduction comes from reclassifying short-life property out of the building basis: the 5- and 15-year components take bonus depreciation now, and the rest depreciates on the regular schedule. A catch-up also applies for depreciation under-claimed in prior years.
Show the year-by-year build-up
For each year since the property was placed in service, this compares depreciation actually taken against what the cost segregation study would have allowed. The cumulative shortfall is the catch-up above.
| Tax year | Depreciation taken | Allowed with study | Shortfall | Cumulative catch-up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | $0 | $186,120 | $186,120 | $186,120 |
| 2022 | $0 | $9,229 | $9,229 | $195,349 |

Furnishing the property to operate as a rental is a separate investment from the building. Where receipts weren't kept, Unlevered values each item and depreciates it as 5-year §1245 personal property, a stand-in for the original invoices. It's a separate pool from the building reclassification above, and it's already included in your year-one deduction. Each row shows any written-off basis of a replaced item next to the new property placed in service; expand for the itemized detail.
With the $177,276of short-life property reclassified from the building basis above, that's $215,571 of accelerated 5- and 15-year property placed in service. They are carried as separate pools by asset class (the reclassified building components and the §1245 furnishings each depreciate on their own schedule), all placed in service together with the property.

Methodology calibrated to IRS standards
Component allocations follow the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide and MACRS recovery periods. Every assumption traces to a publicly cited authority.
The residual structural shell is depreciated as 39-year nonresidential real property. Operated as transient lodging (average guest stay ≤30 days), not residential rental property under IRC §168(e)(2)(A)(ii)(I). The tax use of the property controls the recovery period, not its physical form.
Statutory authority: IRC §168(e)(2)(A)(ii)(I) · IRC §168(e)(2)(B) · IRC §168(c).
The figures above are fixed by these study-specific inputs: the bonus rate is set by the placed-in-service and §168(k) acquisition dates, and any disposition is a taxpayer election. They carry through the entire study.
| Tax year of filing | 2026 MACRS recovery periods, conventions, and the bonus rate are applied as in effect for this filing year. |
|---|---|
| First-year bonus rate | 100% IRC §168(k) first-year bonus depreciation. 100% bonus per TCJA original (PIS 2017-09-27 through 2022-12-31). |
| Land allocation | $252,800 Land is non-depreciable and excluded from the reclassified basis. |
| MACRS conventions | Mid-month / half-year The 39-year shell uses the mid-month convention; 5- and 15-year property uses the half-year (or mid-quarter) convention per IRS Pub. 946. |
