Tax credit to promote innovation

The R&D Tax Credit is a federal tax incentive (also available in many states) designed to promote innovation. It allows companies to receive tax credits for expenses incurred for research and development, thereby lowering their tax obligation and increasing funds for future innovation.

Most qualifying expenditures result from the wages paid to employees that participate in qualifying activities. As a result, the potential for R&D tax credits can be substantial. If your company has been engaged in qualifying activities for the last several years, you may be eligible to retroactively claim R&D tax credits.
