What is the Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit?

The R&D tax credit is a $22B government tax incentive to reward U.S. companies for their investments in innovations and technology advancements. All expenses must undergo The 4-Part Test to qualify. These could be wages, supplies, software/cloud service, or even contract research.

Learn more about the R&D tax credit
Dollar For Dollar

The R&D tax credit reduces federal taxable income, meaning that businesses receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit and still get to deduct expenses related to research and development.

No Limits

There’s no limitation on the expenses and credits that you can claim each year. If you can’t use the federal R&D credit immediately or entirely, any unused credit can be carried back one year or forward for up to 20 years. Carryover rules vary from state to state.

Federal & State

Many states (but not all) offer the tax credit, which usually follow federal regulations and IRS guidance on what constitutes Qualified Research Expenditures (QREs).

Apply to Payroll Tax

New businesses or start-ups may be eligible to apply the R&D tax credit against their payroll taxes for up to five years. The company can claim a max of $250,000 per year.

Don't just take our word for it, hear what others have to say.

I was introduced to Strike Tax Advisory in 2022 from a partner, and they told me I was eligible for several R&D tax credits because we had been building proprietary software for so many years. I worked with Ryan and Tom during this entire process. They filled out all of the paperwork for me, presented me with the numbers they could help me recuperate, and I got a substantial tax credit from their work. I highly recommend Strike to anyone who is looking to get R&D tax credits, these guys are the real deal!

After we engaged Strike, their team went to work right away to gather detailed information and conducted interviews in a comprehensive evaluation of the qualifying R&D activities. We are very pleased with their professionalism and timely delivery of a quality R&D tax credit study report.

From day one through completion of the project, we felt as if we had the best in the business overseeing our project and they made us feel as if we were always their top priority. With 3 years of past R&D tax credits captured, we will continue using Strike for all future R&D tax credit management.

Schedule Time With An Expert

Some things should be automated, but some really shouldn’t.

We know an accurate credit analysis requires human discovery. Fully automated systems are unreliable and tend to leave money on the table.
We’ve built our proprietary software to help ease the burden of the tax credit filing process, not replace it. Designed to give clarity and visibility during your engagement with Strike, we streamline the discovery and data collection process, leaving the expert piece up to the experts, not a machine.
