FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about AfAMax, useful life appraisals, and using depreciation for tax purposes.
It depends on the property, data completeness, and whether an on-site inspection is included. In practice, turnaround is typically from a few days to a few weeks. Missing documentation or follow-up questions can extend the timeline.
If the building is very new or its condition/modernization level suggests that the actual useful life does not materially differ from typified assumptions, the tax benefit may be limited. That is exactly why AfAMax offers a free preliminary assessment—to provide a reliable indication upfront.
Yes—this can be possible, especially for tax years that have not yet become final (i.e., where no final tax assessment notice is in place). In such cases, a shorter actual remaining useful life can be applied and the remaining tax basis of the building may be reallocated accordingly. In practice, depreciation is determined on a yearly basis and can be reassessed. Please coordinate the specific implementation with your tax advisor.
The “standardized” useful life is a typified assumption used in tax practice. The economic remaining useful life is closer to reality: it describes how long the building can likely be used in an economically sensible way—depending on condition, construction, modernizations, and use.
Many tax offices expect an on-site inspection for remaining useful life evidence—or at least consider it a strong quality indicator. We recommend ordering the inspection upfront, as it helps document condition more robustly and often reduces follow-up questions.
