Research Tax Credits

Many taxpayers continue to regard Research and Development (R&D) as an activity associated solely with high-tech, biotech and pharmaceutical type companies; however, under new tax regulations, a company may qualify for the R&D credit for numerous activities that historically have been regarded as "simply doing my job". Many taxpayers miss out on qualified R&D expenditures in areas such as engineering, quality assurances, product improvement, marketing, purchasing, manufacturing, and information technology. At Swink, Fiehler & Company, P.C., we can assist you in identifying qualified R&D expenditures and help maximize the credit available to you.
