R&D Tax Credit - Benefits

      The Research and Development Tax Credit (IRC Section 41) is one of the most substantial incentives under current U.S. tax law because, unlike a standard deduction, it is a dollar-for-dollar credit against your tax liability. Depending on your company's qualified research expenses, the credit can include eligible wages, supplies, and outside contractor expenses. This federal tax incentive is available in over 30 states. In addition, the R&D Tax Credit is available for all open tax returns, which usually includes up to 3 previous years and the current tax year. In the case of insufficient lax liability, firms may have the option to carry the credit forward 20 years.

R&D Tax Credit - Qualifications

      The common misconception about the R&D Tax Credit is that it is solely for traditional, white lab-coat activities and manufacturers. Recent legislation has broadened the industries and companies that qualify for the credit. Common R&D eligible activities include:

• Pre-production design and engineering of a new product or improved existing product, process, or production improvement
• Prototyping and patent applications
• Experimenting or testing new concepts, formulations, materials, tools, and procedures
• Software development for internal use or sale
• General trial and error experimentation

R&D Tax Credit - Industries

      Despite the tremendous tax opportunity, most eligible companies (more than 65%) are unaware or fail to take full advantage of the generous R&D Tax Credit.
