Disclaimers
Effective Date: March 13, 2026
Important Notice
Abode Cost Segregation is a software platform that generates informational reports. We are not a tax advisory firm, accounting firm, engineering firm, or law firm. Nothing on this website or in any Abode-generated report constitutes tax advice, legal advice, financial advice, or professional engineering services. All estimates, calculations, and study outputs are for informational purposes only. Consult a qualified tax professional before making any tax-related decisions.
1. No Tax Advice Disclaimer
The information provided by Abode, including cost segregation studies, savings estimates, depreciation calculations, and all other outputs, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute tax advice. The Service is designed as a tool to assist qualified tax professionals (such as CPAs and tax attorneys) in preparing cost segregation analyses.
You should not rely on the Service as a substitute for professional tax advice. Tax laws are complex, change frequently, and vary by jurisdiction. Always consult with a qualified Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or tax attorney before making tax decisions based on any information provided by the Service.
2. Accuracy and Data Reliance Disclaimer
The accuracy of any cost segregation study generated by Abode is entirely dependent on the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by the User.
Abode does not independently verify, audit, inspect, or validate any property data, financial information, or other details submitted by Users. We do not conduct physical property inspections or appraisals. The study output is a computational analysis based solely on User-provided inputs.
If the information you provide is incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading, the resulting study may contain errors. Abode assumes no responsibility for errors in study output caused by inaccurate User-provided data.
3. No Guarantee of Tax Savings
Abode makes no guarantee, representation, or warranty that you will achieve any specific amount of tax savings from using the Service.
Savings estimates displayed on our website (including the free estimate quiz, marketing materials, and sample studies) are hypothetical projections based on generalized assumptions. Actual tax savings depend on many factors beyond the scope of the Service, including but not limited to:
- Your specific tax situation, income, and filing status;
- Current and future tax laws, rates, and regulations;
- IRS interpretation and enforcement of depreciation rules;
- Bonus depreciation rates, which are subject to legislative change;
- The accuracy of the property data you provided;
- Your CPA's treatment and filing of the study.
4. IRS Compliance Disclaimer
While Abode's methodology is designed to follow the principles outlined in the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide (ATG), we do not guarantee that any study will satisfy IRS requirements or withstand an IRS audit or examination.
The IRS has the authority to challenge, reject, or reclassify any asset categorization in a cost segregation study. Abode is not responsible for any adverse outcomes resulting from IRS review of a study generated by the Service.
Abode does not provide audit defense or representation before the IRS or any taxing authority. If you are audited, you should seek the assistance of a qualified tax attorney or CPA.
5. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer
Abode uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to analyze property data and generate cost segregation classifications. AI-generated outputs may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies.
While we strive for accuracy, AI technology has inherent limitations. The Service's analysis should be reviewed and validated by a qualified tax professional before being used for tax filing purposes. Abode makes no warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of AI-generated content.
6. Methodology Disclaimer
Abode's cost segregation methodology has been developed with reference to IRS guidelines and accepted industry practices. Our approach has been reviewed for methodological consistency by tax professionals with cost segregation experience.
This review does not constitute a guarantee, certification, or endorsement by any individual CPA, accounting firm, or professional body. It does not guarantee the accuracy of any specific study output or its acceptance by the IRS.
7. Earnings and Results Disclaimer
Any examples of tax savings, case studies, testimonials, or projected results displayed on this website are illustrative only and should not be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of similar results. Individual results vary significantly based on property characteristics, tax situation, and other factors.
8. Third-Party Disclaimer
Abode is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), any state taxing authority, TurboTax, Intuit, or any other third-party company referenced on this website unless explicitly stated. Any references to third-party products, services, or guidelines are for informational purposes only.
9. Bonus Depreciation Disclaimer
Information regarding bonus depreciation rates and rules is based on current legislation at the time of publication. Bonus depreciation rates are subject to change through federal legislation. Abode is not responsible for changes in tax law that affect the applicability of bonus depreciation after a study has been generated.
Users are advised to verify current bonus depreciation rates and eligibility with their tax professional before filing.
10. Form 3115 (Change in Accounting Method) Disclaimer
References to IRS Form 3115 and catch-up deductions on this website are for informational purposes only. Filing a change in accounting method is a complex tax procedure that should only be performed by or under the guidance of a qualified tax professional. Abode does not prepare or file Form 3115 on your behalf.
