Jason Dinesen

In this episode of Accounting in the Wild, Jason is joined once again by Randy Eickhoff of Acena Consulting for a real-world discussion on two powerful tax strategies for real estate investors and building designers: cost segregation and the Section 179D deduction.

They explore:

  • What Section 179D is and who qualifies
  • How cost segregation works and when it makes sense
  • IRS audit considerations and Form 3115 catch-up strategies
  • The surprising connection between 179D, cost seg, and the R&D credit
  • Why these strategies are about more than just tax savings—they’re cash flow tools

Whether you're a tax pro, real estate investor, or just tax-curious, this episode will give you practical insights into using the tax code to your advantage.
