About RentalDeductions
RentalDeductions is an AI-powered tool that helps short-term rental property owners uncover tax deductions they may be missing. From cost segregation to bonus depreciation, we make complex tax strategies accessible and affordable.
The Problem
Most rental property owners depreciate their entire building over 27.5 years and call it a day. But a significant portion of any property—appliances, landscaping, flooring, lighting, fixtures—qualifies for much shorter depreciation schedules of 5, 7, or 15 years. With 100% bonus depreciation restored, those components can often be fully deducted in year one.
Traditional cost segregation studies cost $3,000 to $15,000, putting them out of reach for owners of smaller properties. That means many potential deductions may go unexplored each year.
What We Do
RentalDeductions provides self-serve cost segregation analysis and depreciation reports starting at a fraction of the cost of a traditional study. You enter your property details, and our system generates a detailed breakdown of your estimated deductions across every applicable category.
Our reports cover:
- Cost segregation— reclassifying building components into shorter depreciation schedules
- Bonus depreciation— first-year expensing of qualifying assets
- Missed deductions— common write-offs that rental owners overlook
- Material participation analysis— determining whether your losses can offset active income
- QBI deduction— Qualified Business Income deduction eligibility
