R&D credits turn your burn rate into working capital without giving up equity.
No – the R&D tax credit is a real government tax incentive created to reward innovation. It’s not “free money,” but a dollar-for-dollar reduction of taxes on spending you’ve already made on R&D. (That said, be wary of anyone promising ridiculously huge refunds with no documentation – a reputable provider will calculate your credit based on actual qualifying work)
Most businesses simply don’t realize they qualify or assume it’s only for big companies or certain industries. In reality, 95% startups and SMBs have eligible R&D that they never claimed. The rules are complex and full of myths, so owners often miss out due to lack of awareness. (Also, for a very long time, the work to claim those credit didn’t create meanful ROI until now when AI comes out)
Yes. Since 2015, even young startups can use the R&D credit against payroll tax (up to $250K per year if you qualify as a small business) This means you don’t need to owe income tax yet – your eligible R&D spending can still generate cash refunds or future tax offsets
You can still qualify. While wages are a big part of R&D costs, payments to independent contractors or consultants for R&D work also count, as do many supplies and materials. If you truly have no payroll, any unused credit can typically carry forward to use against taxes later.
Not necessarily. You can file an amended return (generally up to three years back) to claim any unclaimed R&D credit. Many startups discover the credit late, and the IRS allows retroactive claims so long as you provide the required documentation.
It’s broader than you think. Qualifying R&D includes any work to create or improve products, processes, software, etc., where you faced technical uncertainty. For example, most software development or engineering projects that improve performance or solve problems can qualify Importantly, the work doesn’t need to succeed – even failed experiments or iterations count toward the credit.
Claiming the credit may draw attention (like any tax credit), but it’s routine when done correctly. A quality automated platform will generate a detailed, audit-ready report of all qualified expenses In fact, the IRS expects solid documentation; having a formal R&D study or report backing your numbers greatly reduces any audit risk
