R&D Tax Credits

Streamline complexity of identifying qualifying activities and maximize tax savings.

R&D tax credits provide a significant return on investment for businesses across a wide range of industries by reducing tax liabilities. If your company is engaged in activities such as developing new products, processes, or technologies, or making substantial improvements to existing ones, you may qualify for federal and state R&D tax credits. These credits can help lower both your current and future tax burdens.

 

At Smith + Howard, our Specialty Tax Services Team partners with your business to identify a broad range of qualifying activities, helping you maximize your R&D credit benefits. Our services are tailored to streamline the entire process, allowing you to stay focused on driving innovation and growth for your company.
