Research & Development Tax Credits

Dollar-for-dollar tax savings from R&D tax credits that directly lower a company’s tax obligation and offset payroll taxes are frequently disregarded or underutilised. Both the federal government and the states give the R&D credit providing it as a way to reduce state tax obligations.

R & D

Claiming R&D Tax Credits can be challenging because documentation is needed to show that the underlying activities satisfy the four-part test, federal and state tax laws and regulations are constantly changing, and eligibility is determined only after a careful examination of the qualifying activities. Companies may occasionally review all previous available tax years to recoup missing R&D tax credit chances.

 

Our devoted R&D Tax Credit staff at Incencred has required skills and experience for your industry specific R&D Tax credits. In order to pinpoint areas where the R&D credit might be applicable, we will take a comprehensive examination of your operations and research and development procedures.

1. Reduce your payroll taxes up to $500,000 per year after passing of Inflation Reduction Act in 2022.
2. Reinvest in your early-stage business and concentrate on the important work.
