Did you know that your client\u2019s machinery and equipment<\/a> have a value that can substantiate, strengthen, or even lose the most successful case in court? After all, if you rely on a guess, a depreciation schedule, or an \u201cuncertified\u201d auctioneer or dealer to determine a value, it\u2019s inaccurate and will not hold up to scrutiny with the IRS, courts, or lenders.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> That’s a great question, and we’re glad you asked! There are no less than 20 ways an accurate, substantiated, irrefutable, and defensible value of machinery and equipment can help you and your client. Here are just a few of the ways:<\/p>\n<\/div> Loans \/ Leases \u2022 Property Taxes \u2022 Insurable Value<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Divorce \u2022 Converting From C To S Corp \u2022 Cost Segregation<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Taxes \u2022 1031 Exchanges \u2022 Trust Agreements<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Buy \/ Sell Agreements \u2022 Estate Planning \u2022 Bankruptcy<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Retirement Planning \u2022 Partnership Dissolution \u2022 Strategic Planning<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Litigation Support \u2022 GASB 34 \u2022 Sarbanes-Oxley<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Collateral \u2022 Gifting<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> What you need to prevail before the IRS, courts, lenders, attorneys, CPAs, and others is a Certified Appraisal Report submitted by a Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraiser (CMEA). That way, you will receive a report consistent with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) promulgated by Congress. The IRS may disallow a filing because there is not a Certified Appraisal Report that substantiates equipment values.<\/p>\n Don’t make the mistake of not knowing the accurate value of your client’s equipment. CMEAs have the experience and required certification to meet the needs of your client, court, and yourself. Contact a CMEA<\/a> today to learn the difference between a “Certified” Appraisal Report and an “Uncertified” Appraisal Report. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
