Why do companies miss out on this tax Credit? The R&D tax credit requires an engineering methodology. Many accounting firms do not have this ability in-house. We at Research and Development Tax Credit specialize in providing the engineering study and will work closely with your tax firm to maximize your credits.

Benefits of the Research and Development Tax Credit to Clients

Clients would receive a total of millions of dollars in tax credits, which would result in cash back from the IRS for previous open tax years. Additional benefits would include future tax savings, and a carry-forward up to twenty years. The US Research and Development Tax Credit could be used by a variety of industries, including manufacturing, fabrication, engineering, chemical, tool and die, software developers, pharmaceutical, food sciences, and more.

Important Considerations When Choosing a Consulting Firm for the Research and Development Tax Credit

Is each individual involved with your study a qualified intellectual property attorney with a background in engineering, or an engineer? A mixture of both is preferred. The IRS requires IP attorneys with an engineering background. Does the firm use the Comprehensive Project-by-Project methodology to conduct their studies as is required by the IRS? Some companies’ reports are in fact written by individuals with no engineering or scientific background.
