The R&D tax credit is a special tax incentive that rewards businesses for developing or improving products or processes, regardless of industry. This tax credit equates to a dollar-for-dollar reduction in federal tax liability, and it’s accepted in 38 states. Based on your R&D expenses, the credit offers an immediate source of cash to jump-start new research or provide cash liquidity for your business. With the ability to retroactively claim the R&D tax credit for up to 3 years (4 in some states), many companies are eligible to receive significant cash recoveries.
