R&D Credit
Research & Development Tax Credit Services
Created in 1981, the Research and Development Tax Credit was introduced to foster innovation and induce economic growth for businesses of all sizes. Many companies have not taken advantage of the R&D Tax Credit because of insufficient time and expertise to fully understand the requirements. However, this credit can be very beneficial, as it offers a dollar-for-dollar offset to federal income tax liability, or in some cases, payroll tax liability.
Due to the broad definition provided in the tax code of what is considered “Research and Development”, virtually any industry engaged in developing or improving products or processes could be eligible. This is especially true for industries such as, Life Science, Software & Technology, Engineering, Aerospace & Defense, Manufacturing, and many more.
