The R&D tax credit is one of the most valuable, and overlooked, federal incentives available to U.S. businesses. Qualifying companies can claim dollar-for-dollar credits for work done to develop or improve products, processes, software, and technologies. That means real reductions in tax liability and more cash staying in the business. Even better: eligible companies can amend returns going back three years.

What the R&D Credit Can Do
More Than a Tax Incentive
R&D tax credits can reduce federal tax liability, offset payroll taxes for eligible startups, and generate substantial savings that can be reinvested back into your business. Even companies that aren’t yet profitable may qualify.
Don’t have tax liability yet?
Credits that can’t be used in the current year can carry forward for up to 20 years, building a deferred tax asset that grows more valuable at profitability, financing, or exit.
