Service Overview

R&D Tax Credit Services —
What We Do For You

The federal research credit rewards businesses that develop or improve products, software, processes or formulas, and it is not limited to labs. Software companies, manufacturers, engineering and architecture firms, food and beverage producers and many other businesses do qualifying work as part of their normal operations.

Qualifying activities must meet the four-part test in Internal Revenue Code Section 41: a permitted purpose, technological uncertainty, a process of experimentation, and reliance on the hard sciences, engineering or computer science. Eligible costs typically include wages for people doing or directly supervising the work, supplies used in experimentation, and a portion of contract research.

Accrulyn handles the full R&D credit process in-house: identifying qualifying projects, calculating qualified research expenses, preparing the supporting documentation and Form 6765, and coordinating the credit with your return. Eligible startups may be able to apply part of the credit against payroll taxes, and under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, domestic research costs can again be deducted in the year they are paid or incurred. Every claim is based on your actual activities and records, and we tell you plainly if the work does not qualify.

FAQ

Frequently Asked
Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Many businesses that do not think of themselves as research companies qualify, including software, manufacturing and engineering firms. The work has to meet the four-part test in Section 41, which we review project by project.
Possibly. Eligible small businesses, generally those with under $5 million in gross receipts and within their first five years of receipts, can elect to apply part of the credit against payroll taxes.
Starting with 2022 tax years, research costs had to be capitalized and amortized. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act added Section 174A, which again allows domestic research costs to be deducted for tax years beginning after 2024. Foreign research costs are still amortized.
Payroll records, project descriptions, and records showing who worked on which projects and what was tested. We help you organize what you have and set up better tracking going forward.
In many cases, credits for open prior years can be claimed on amended returns, subject to IRS requirements for refund claims. We review which years are still available.
