Tax Credits are a Matter of Legislative Grace.
Calculating and securing an R&D Tax Credit can be a complex process, but there’s more to it than just the paperwork. In the U.S., the “Burden of Proof” falls on the taxpayer, not the government. That’s why understanding the requirements, and what’s expected, if you’re audited, is critical to confidently claiming your Research Credit.
If you're going to claim an R&D Tax Credit, be prepared to prove it.
