Section 174 Fix is Here

With the incoming administration united under a single party, the legislative barriers to fixing Section 174 have been removed. This means firms can now claim the full value of their R&D expenses for day-to-day activities such as:

  • Designing prototypes or testing new concepts
  • Developing custom software or algorithms
  • Improving manufacturing or production processes
  • Resolving technical challenges through experimentation

How Changes to Section 174 Impacting Your Business

Fuel American Innovation: The R&D Tax Credit Advantage

In today's hyper-competitive marketplace, this credit is your strategic weapon to:

Attract and Retain Top Technical Talent
Supercharge
Your Growth Strategy
Stay Ahead of Market Competition

Recent changes to Section 174 have mandated the capitalization and amortization of R&D expenses, leading to increased tax burdens for many businesses. However, given the current political landscape, a resolution is on the horizon.

6 Myths About the R&D Tax Credit Debunked

Most small- to medium-sized companies miss out on this powerful incentive. Here's the truth behind common misconceptions:

1: What about Section 174? It is not getting fixed anytime soon.
Reality: The new administration has committed to fix 174 within the first 100 days in office.
2: Only Groundbreaking Inventions Qualify 
Reality: Innovation comes in many forms. Incremental improvements, process optimizations, and technical challenges count.
3: Only Companies with Research Labs Are Eligible
Reality: Manufacturing, software, engineering, and many other industries can benefit—no dedicated lab required.
4: The Credit Doesn't Impact State Taxes or Bottom Line
Reality: This dollar-for-dollar credit directly reduces tax liability and can improve overall financial performance.
5:  It Sounds Too Good to Be True
Reality: Established by Congress in 1981, this is a legitimate tax incentive designed to support American innovation.
6: Tax Reform Will Eliminate the Credit
