What Is the R&D Tax Credit?

The R&D tax credit is available to companies developing new or improved business components.  It’s available at the federal and state level, with over 35 states offering a credit to offset state tax liability.  The R&D tax credit is calculated as a percentage of the company’s expenses related to R&D activities. Qualified R&D expenditures can include operating expenses such as wages, materials, and payments to third-party contractors if the activity that gives rise to the expenditure is a qualified research activity. So, while these expenses are generally fully deductible when determining taxable income, what many companies do not realize is that they can also count toward the R&D credit.

Activities that give rise to qualified research expenditures for purposes of the Sec. 41 R&D credit can include such activities as:
