R&D Tax Credits

If you paid engineers to build something whose outcome was uncertain, some of that spend probably qualifies. We work out how much, document it to survive scrutiny, and claim it.

How it runs

What actually happens, in order.

  1. 01

    Qualify

    An honest first pass. If the work does not meet the four-part test we say so before you spend anything on a study.

  2. 02

    Quantify and document

    Wages, supplies and contract research identified and evidenced, project by project.

  3. 03

    Claim

    Filed with the return, with the documentation retained in a form that answers an examiner's questions.

Questions

What people ask about R&D Tax Credits.

Ask yours

No. A qualified small business can elect to apply the credit against the employer portion of payroll taxes, which turns it into cash even with no income tax liability.

Not all of it. The test is technological uncertainty resolved through a process of experimentation. Building a new feature to a known recipe usually fails it; solving a problem where you did not know the approach would work usually passes.
