    What Is the R&D Tax Credit?

    The R&D Tax Credit is available to companies that develop new or improved business components. It can be claimed at both the federal and state levels, with more than 35 states offering additional credits to help offset state tax liability. The credit is generally calculated as a percentage of a company’s qualified research expenses. These expenses may include wages, materials, and payments to third-party contractors, as long as the related work qualifies as research activity. While many of these costs are already deductible when calculating taxable income, many businesses do not realize they may also be used to claim the R&D Tax Credit.
