Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • MSC's 2026 site promotes QPP and bonus-depreciation guidance after new IRS rules.
  • Probity Tax Recovery and Tax Credit Hero expanded MSC beyond cost segregation.
  • MSC hosts CREATE webinars and CPA symposium sessions, reinforcing inbound demand.

What critics are saying

  • IRS scrutiny on bonus depreciation and R&D claims fuels refund disputes in 2026.
  • Sparse public review data and only two CCSPs weaken MSC against national rivals.
  • Congress can reverse depreciation incentives; MSC's study pipeline drops immediately.

What makes ms consultants unique

  • Since 1996, MSC combines engineering, CPA, and construction expertise across ten offices.
  • MSC's turnkey studies include free audit support and in-house production.
  • The msc.tax brand now unifies cost segregation, §179D, §45L, and R&D credits.
