Services

Four connected services that cover the moving parts of claiming and defending short-term rental deductions.

Cost segregation study coordination

We scope, commission, and review residential cost segregation studies from a professional cost segregation provider for newly purchased, newly built, or previously owned short-term rentals.

  • Allocation to 5-, 7-, and 15-year property reconciled to your closing statement
  • Every study meets and exceeds the standards in IRS Publication 5653
  • Bonus depreciation eligibility checked against your acquisition and placed-in-service dates
  • Reviewed by an independent CPA firm

STR qualification & CSV stay review

We review your booking data before you rely on the losses.

  • Average guest stay calculated across Airbnb, VRBO, and direct bookings
  • IRC § 280A personal-use days checked so family stays do not undermine the rental treatment
  • Flags for Dec 31 boundary stays and contiguous same-guest bookings
  • What-if planning for how many 2-night stays bring an over-7.0 average back in line

Material participation tracking

Every entry is time-stamped and can't be back-dated. That's what makes it hold up.

  • Real-time progress toward the 500-hour and 100-hour tests
  • Tracking of cleaner, co-host, and handyman hours for the 100-hour comparison
  • Automatic separation of investor-level tasks (Temp. Reg. § 1.469-5T(f)(2)(ii))
  • Time-stamped edit history and CPA-ready CSV exports

Look-back studies & Form 3115 support

Bought in an earlier year without a study? A look-back study and Form 3115 can catch up missed depreciation via an IRC § 481(a) adjustment without amending prior returns.

  • Feasibility review of prior-year purchases and improvements
  • IRC § 481(a) catch-up adjustment calculation in our Savings Estimator
  • Clear explanation of timing and depreciation recapture trade-offs
