Taking Credit for Innovative Work

Often overlooked, the R&D credit can substantially benefit companies recognizing its potential. These credits represent a lucrative opportunity to lower your tax burden by up to 10% for work you’re already doing. Qualifying activities include:

  • Investing in resources for new or improved products
  • Investing in developing new or improved manufacturing or service processes
  • Investing in software and software-related technology, such as AI
  • Efforts to improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce scrap, and implement techniques like lean, green, and Kaizen
