Your CPA stays the filer. We're the software.
Tax studies, done while you watch.
Send your books, closing papers and a 10-minute phone scan. We run cost segregation, inventory cost rules, energy credits and the rest on the spot, show every step, and hand your CPA a packet ready to file.
Every part of the building has a tax life. Shorter lives mean a bigger deduction now.
Your free estimate
No email. The study is free; your CPA's packet is one fixed price, from $795, shown before you start.
Search every type, like “townhomes” or “self-storage”.
Include land. We take it out for you.
Earlier years count too, back to 2005.
Adjust assumptions
Working it out...

One sitting, the whole study
Your documents go in. Every step runs where you can see it, with its reason and its source. A study ready for review comes out, and your CPA files it.
Every step, out loud

Every part has a tax life
A building is not one thing. Its appliances, finishes, paving and lighting wear out faster than its walls, and the tax code lets you deduct them faster. Here is the whole study in under a minute.
How the free study works
Estimate, your info, your books, the scan. As soon as we have them, the full study runs right there and you confirm anything flagged.
Connect your books
QuickBooks, your job cost report and draws. We read every line, so you don't type them.
Scan the building
Walk it with the BTS Inspect iPhone app. It tells you when each room is covered.
Watch your study run
Every step logged with its reason and source. A credentialed reviewer settles anything flagged.
Your CPA files
Buy the packet for one fixed fee. Your CPA reviews, signs off and files.
One study checks every way you can save
Each one drawn on a sample property here, and on your own property and numbers once your study runs.
Faster depreciation
Split the building into parts with shorter tax lives and deduct more this year.
Inventory cost rules
For homes you sell: which costs go into the homes, and which you deduct now.
Energy credit for homes
Up to $2,500 per certified home leased or sold before July 1, 2026.
Efficient commercial buildings
A deduction per square foot when walls, lighting and heating beat the standard.
Property tax
We check whether the county values your buildings too high, and prepare the appeal.
Research credit
Design work you tested and changed, version by version, can earn a credit.
Your CPA stays the filer. We're the software.
We prepare the study and the packet. Your CPA reviews it, signs off, and files. Nothing is filed until they say so.
Have a CPA?
We send them a review link and the full packet. They open it without setting anything up, sign off, and file.
Need one?
We'll introduce you to a CPA who works with builders. Ask us
Built or bought in the last few years? Look back for free.
List your past properties and see what is still claimable, right away, with no email. Missed depreciation is caught up on this year's return with Form 3115, no amended returns, and your CPA confirms the deadline. The look-back costs nothing; the packet is a fixed price.
For CPA firms: the packet you would build yourself
The study report, asset schedules with import files for Lacerte, ProConnect, UltraTax, CCH and Drake, a draft Form 3115 with the catch-up schedule, and a source for every number. One fixed price per study, on one invoice for the firm.
