Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about R&D tax credits for manufacturers.
Qualifying activities include developing new products, improving existing products, creating new manufacturing processes, enhancing existing processes, developing prototypes and models, testing new materials, and developing or improving software that controls manufacturing processes. The key is that these activities must involve resolving technical uncertainties through a process of experimentation.
The federal R&D tax credit is generally equal to 6-8% of qualified research expenses, though this can vary based on your specific situation. Many states also offer additional R&D tax credits. For manufacturing businesses, this often translates to tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual tax savings.
No, businesses of all sizes can benefit from R&D tax credits. In fact, small and medium-sized businesses often qualify for special provisions that allow them to apply the credit against payroll taxes if they have little to no income tax liability.
Generally, you can amend returns to claim R&D tax credits for the previous three tax years, in addition to the current year. This means you could potentially recover significant tax dollars from prior years' R&D activities.
Documentation should include project records, payroll records for employees involved in R&D, project lists, technical documentation of the development process, meeting notes, test results, and financial records showing related expenses. Our team helps you identify and organize all necessary documentation.
