IRS Experience

Meridian has the experience and proven track record to successfully defend studies before the IRS.

Based on our reputation of favorable outcomes on audits, dispute litigation, and direct dealings with the IRS on landmark tax cases – taxpayers under appeals with other providers’ studies and other providers solicit our advice.

Our lead engineer is recognized by the U.S. Tax Court as an industry expert witness in cost segregation, and has served as a subject matter expert witness on behalf of taxpayers AND the IRS.

Our Experience Becomes Your Asset

  • Meridian clients benefit from our experience, earned from audits with public companies and institutional clients defending their fixed asset classifications for depreciation and future write-offs.
  • As a result of our tax code, regulatory, and case law expertise, we frequently identify 10% more documentable benefits than our competitors

The IRS Refers To Us As The Authority

Our leadership team has helped shape cost segregation on behalf of taxpayers.

We take the burden of proof off the taxpayer and CPA by providing details for the entire building in a construction format that’s easy for the IRS to follow under audit. With a track record dating back to the late 1980s, we earned the respect of the IRS based on the quality of our studies.

We were told the IRS referenced our lead engineer’s methodology as the standard when drafting the detailed engineering approach to cost segregation in the Audit Techniques Guide.

We offer a complete audit trail... ticked and tied

Meridian’s engineering methodology provides all the advantages and opportunities that cost segregation allows, in a fully defensible study – the key element when undergoing an IRS audit. And, we’re one of a handful of firms that offer a comprehensive work paper file and supporting audit trail with our top-level study.
