R&D credit incentives for small businesses

Help your business to capture the benefits of its federal and state research and development (R&D) tax credits.

Is your business benefitting from the R&D tax credit incentive?

A tax credit generally is a reduction to current and future years’ federal and state tax liabilities. In some states, the credits may be monetized. The R&D Tax Credit is an income tax benefit that provides incentives for companies conducting R&D in the U.S. These economic incentives were implemented to stimulate research and development in industries of all sizes and to encourage companies to work together.

The R&D Tax Credit is for businesses of all sizes – profitable and unprofitable, not just major corporations with research labs, and many companies are surprised that they qualify.
