About Titan

Headquartered in Denver Colorado, Titan Engineering offers cutting-edge software solutions, Titan Armor and Titan Echo, designed for R&D tax credit strategies, and cost segregation studies. Our products seamlessly integrate advanced technology with unmatched engineering and tax expertise, empowering CPAs, industry innovators, and real estate investors to navigate complex tax strategies with confidence.

Titan Armor is a specialized, client-facing software and engineering support solution tailored for manufacturers, engineering design firms, and software developers. It stands as the only product on the market that enables taxpayers to meet the stringent documentation requirements for claiming the R&D Tax Credit. Beyond streamlining the documentation process, Titan Armor leverages our extensive IRS audit expertise to help clients confidently secure these valuable tax incentives.

Titan Echo is the industry’s only software that enables users to perform IRS-compliant cost segregation studies while leveraging our technical expertise for the more intricate components of their projects. This unique capability allows CPAs and investors to execute cost segregation projects on their terms, achieving the most cost-effective and IRS-compliant results possible in accelerating the depreciation of commercial real estate.

In 2008, Armor was established following a client audit that put $1 million in tax credits at risk, with the auditor threatening to nullify the entire claim. The client sought legal counsel and teamed up with Titan to clarify the documentation needed to secure the credits. Their objective was to ensure continued eligibility for the tax credits, regardless of the outcome of the specific audit.

Armor worked directly with the IRS to fully understand their requirements. Our software was developed through a direct and iterative collaboration process with the IRS issue management team, focusing on concerns related to what they viewed as excessive R&D claims. By adopting the IRS’s viewpoint, Armor was designed to streamline the process of presenting documentation, making it easier for the IRS to confirm the validity of claims.

Tax credits are a matter of legislative grace and if a company believes it qualifies, the onus is on them to prove it. While perfect data is rarely achievable due to cost or practicality, Titan Armor equips businesses with the tools, expertise, and insights necessary to create robust supporting documentation, all while aligning with their audit risk tolerance.
