Current legislation allows businesses in over 40 industries to leverage the benefits of the R&D tax credit.

Still, every year countless organizations miss out on this invaluable opportunity to drive revenue to the bottom line simply because they don’t know they qualify for the credit.

Are you one of them? You may be missing out on an earned R&D tax credit if your business meets the requirements of a standardized 4-part test that:

Eliminates technical uncertainty
Includes process of experimentation
Is technological in nature (engineering sciences, physical sciences, computer sciences, biological sciences)
Serves a qualified purpose (product, process, technique, formula, invention, software)

Recent Updates to the R&D Tax Credit

In August 2022, The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 legislation was passed, doubling the possible R&D tax credit total from $250,000 to half a million dollars.
