How to Tell if Your Property Qualifies For A Cost Segregation Study
Drug store building owners may qualify for a cost segregation study if they have done any of the following after 1985:
- Purchased a drug store
- Renovated an existing property
- Expanded an existing property
- Planning a future 1031 exchange
- Constructed a new drug store
- Restored an existing property
- Paid for leasehold improvements
- Received a drug store as a gift
The strongest candidates for a cost segregation study are owners who have spent over $1 million on the property or over $100,000 in improvements. If you fall into this category, the benefits will greatly outweigh the cost.

Does a cost segregation study for drug stores change by state?
At National Cost Segregation Services, we are proud that our expertise serves every region of the U.S. A cost segregation study for adrug store properties identifies assets that may be eligible for a shorter depreciation schedule under the IRS guidelines. A cost segregation study is based on federal tax law, which means it’s applicable in any state.
While the method of cost segregation is the same state by state, the result varies. Some states follow the exact federal depreciation rules, while others limit or adjust certain deductions. This means one drug store owner may see one result on their federal tax return and a different result on their state return.
Because National Cost Segregation Services works with drug store property owners across the country, our studies are designed to support the federal depreciation strategy while providing your CPA with the detailed information needed to evaluate any state-level adjustments.
