We can help your business determine if it is eligible to claim certain federal and state research credits, assist with the documentation requirements, and quantify the tax credit amount.

Real Estate Cost Segregation Studies

At Williams Tax Group, PLC, we have proven cost segregation strategies that can be used to accelerate real estate tax depreciation deductions for businesses. This results in a deferral of taxes, which in turn increases cash flow. We possess the expertise needed to render quality real estate tax services.

Cost segregation works by separating property costs from the building, land acquisition, or construction costs. This benefits your business because the property has a shorter useful life for depreciation purposes when it stands on its own than when it is combined with the longer-lived building or land.

There are certain limitations surrounding cost segregation. It can only be performed on buildings constructed, acquired, enhanced, or expanded in 1986 or later. Additionally, certain industries tend to have buildings with the most potential for tax deferral and improved cash flows. These industries include but are not necessarily limited to the following:

  • Auto dealerships
  • Hospitals and medical facilities
  • Industrial facilities
  • Manufacturing facilities
  • Office buildings
  • Retail stores and shopping centers
  • Apartment or condominium complexes
  • Supermarkets and restaurants

Estate and Trust Tax Services

If you have not considered what will happen to your hard-earned assets as you age and eventually pass on, you should. Without an estate plan, the wealth you worked your entire life to build will be distributed according to state law and not according to your wishes. Estate planning is crucial if you want to minimize taxes and distribute your preferred beneficiaries as much as possible.

We will work with you to design an estate plan customized to your particular needs by utilizing various planning vehicles such as family limited partnerships, trusts, and charitable entities. Our team can assist you by performing the following:

  • Review wills and trust instruments.
  • Estimate estate taxes and strategize alternatives that may provide tax savings.
  • Review business issues, including valuation and the transfer and/or disposition of business interests.
  • Identify potential liquidity problems caused by federal and state estate taxes for the family business’s continued operation, probate, administration costs, etc.
  • Develop a lifetime gifting program using vehicles such as family limited partnerships, charitable trusts, and qualified personal residence trusts
  • Prepare estate, gift, fiduciary, and non-profit tax returns.
  • Advise you on the possible use of various trust structures, including charitable remainder trusts, grantor annuity trusts, personal residence trusts, family partnerships, credit shelter trusts, marital deduction trusts, and revocable lifetime trusts.
