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 architecture firms can now claim the full value of their R&D expenses for day-to-day activities such as:

  • Designing and developing energy-efficient features, building systems, facades, and site orientations to enhance sustainability and functionality
  • Creating master plans, schematic designs, and planning and elevation drawings for comprehensive project development
  • Shaping building forms, orientations, and architectural elements to align with design objectives and environmental considerations.
  • Integrating various activities, including facade development and system designs, to achieve cohesive and efficient structures.

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.
