Cost segregation

Engineered Tax Services

Engineered Tax Services (ETS) is a licensed engineering firm in West Palm Beach, Florida that performs specialty tax studies: engineering-based cost segregation, 179D deductions for energy-efficient commercial buildings, 45L credits and research and development credits.

Beside the studies it produces engineered incentives reports that search a client's situation for credits, deductions and incentives; identifies, qualifies and manages applications for local, state, federal and private grants; and lists insurance solutions and 1031 exchange services. A strategic partnership program lets CPA firms offer these specialty strategies to their own clients. Staff include professional engineers, CPAs and tax attorneys, and the firm says its team can be reached at any hour on its toll-free line.

ETS has operated since 2001, describes more than 25 years of specialty tax work, reports over a million tax services performed, and says it is the only licensed engineering firm specializing in tax strategies. Its people work from West Palm Beach and from other cities including Charlotte, Philadelphia and Los Angeles.

Best for
