Many business owners in nearly every industry are unaware that federal and state research and development (R&D) tax credit programs exist that may reward their efforts aimed at developing an improved product. The Research and Development Tax Credit is a government-sponsored benefit that provides cash incentives for companies conducting R&D in the United States. These economic credits were created to incentify technological advances and the hiring of workers to perform R&D. The R&D tax credit is for businesses of all sizes, not just major corporations with research labs, and many companies are surprised that they qualify.
