Research & Development Tax Credits have been in place for over 25 years. Many companies have misconceptions about the types of research and development activities that qualify. A wide range of common practices in many industries will qualify for the credit under the Internal Revenue Code’s definition of R&D. Strategic Tax Solutions experts can help you claim the credits for which your company is eligible.
