Tunnel Car Washes and Cost Segregation – What you need to know about 60% bonus depreciation.

If you purchased a tunnel car wash in 2024, you’re going to want to cost segregate it. Back in 2022 when bonus depreciation was 100% many CPAs just marked it all as land improvement and took 100%. I get that. In 2023, the same thing happened but it was 80% bonus. Now in 2024, bonus is 60%. You are leaving money on the table if you don’t do cost segregation. In many cases it’s $300,000 – $500,000 you’re leaving on the table by not doing cost segregation.

I’ve had a custom tool built to specifically calculate and show you the year by year tax savings you’ll get from doing cost segregation vs. not doing cost segregation and just letting your CPA mark your depreciation schedule as all 15 year class life and taking 60%. Take a few minutes and learn as I try to demo this new calculator. If you have a property and would like me to run the numbers, let me know. Check out the 4 minute video explanation below.

Everyone who buys a tunnel car wash in 2024 and who has basis, should do a cost segregation study. Of course consult with your own tax advisor, but get armed first with the information. I think I’m the only one that I know of that has this tool to calculate this for you. If you purchased your car wash with all 1031 exchange funds then there’s no basis. If you purchased it partially with 1031 funds and have new debt / money, there may be enough basis to study. Let me run the numbers. I work all over the country.

If you aren’t doing cost segregation on a 2024 Tunnel Car Wash you may be leaving $100k on the table.
