Businesses spent $493 billion on research and development in the United States in 2019, an 11.8% increase from 2018. Changes to the R&D credit in recent years have made it a valuable cash benefit to a broad spectrum of businesses, regardless of size or industry. Yet, this credit is still underutilized.
In this webinar, Stephen Yarbrough (CPA, former IRS Agent, and Co-Founder of Neo.Tax) and Taylor Schaude (former KPMG associate) of Neo.Tax will help attendees understand how to identify the activities that qualify for the credit and which companies can benefit from a qualified small business payroll election. This allows companies to benefit from the credit even if they are not currently profitable.
Learning Objectives:
- Define criteria for a qualified small business to elect a payroll R&D credit
- Identify activities that qualify for the R&D credit
- Give examples of disallowed activities
- Recognize the process and timeline for obtaining the credit
