Engineering-Grade Tax
Studies & Incentives
We combine technical engineering methodology with deep tax expertise to identify and defend every available incentive — so you keep more of what you've earned.
Cost Segregation
When you acquire, build, or renovate real property, the IRS requires you to depreciate the entire structure over 27.5 or 39 years. But not every component of a building qualifies for that long timeline. A Cost Segregation Study conducted by AIR's licensed engineers identifies personal property and land improvements that qualify for 5, 7, or 15-year accelerated depreciation — dramatically front-loading your deductions and improving cash flow today.
AIR's studies are prepared by licensed engineers using the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Technique Guide as the framework — ensuring every reclassification is defensible, documented, and maximized.
R&D Tax Credits
The Research & Development Tax Credit (IRC Section 41) is one of the most valuable — and most underutilized — incentives in the U.S. tax code. Many business owners assume R&D credits are only for pharmaceutical companies or university labs. In reality, any company that develops or improves products, processes, software, formulas, or techniques may qualify.
AIR's team interviews your technical staff, analyzes your project documentation, and applies the IRS four-part test to every qualifying activity — building a contemporaneous study that substantiates your credit and stands up to scrutiny.
Energy Incentives
The Inflation Reduction Act dramatically expanded energy-related tax incentives through 2032 and beyond. Whether you're building an energy-efficient commercial structure, installing solar, adding EV charging infrastructure, or retrofitting an existing facility — AIR's team identifies the optimal combination of deductions and credits available to your project.
Many energy incentives can be stacked directly with Cost Segregation studies for compounded benefit — a strategy most firms never propose because it requires engineering expertise on both sides.
Compliance & Support
A tax incentive is only as valuable as its defensibility. AIR's studies are built from day one with IRS examination in mind — detailed engineering documentation, contemporaneous records, and a clear methodology that satisfies every element of the applicable Treasury Regulations.
We don't deliver a report and disappear. Every engagement includes ongoing compliance support, proactive law monitoring, and full representation at no additional charge if your return is ever selected for examination related to work AIR performed.
