The U.S. government created the R&D tax credit in 1981 to incentivize American-based companies to create innovative technology, instead of losing intellectual property to other nations.

Many companies were not eligible to receive a current benefit until the PATH Act was passed in 2015. And once passed, not a lot of companies heard about it. Even companies that did know about it failed to pursue it, due to complexity and time constraints. We offer a solution that simplifies the process and maximizes ROI.

No! The R&D tax credit was created by the U.S. government to give funds back to companies that spend money on technology-based innovation.
