Additionally, with software and technology being an underlying component for virtually every industry, companies who have custom-developed back-office systems, customizations to ERP systems, app development, e-commerce, and other innovative software solutions are also great candidates for an R&D tax credit.

Businesses in any industry that are conducting qualified research and development activities can claim the credit on Form 6765 and reduce tax liability as a general business credit. Additionally, start-up companies may be able to reduce their payroll taxes.

With new guidance it’s even more important to claim the R&D credit on an original return to avoid additional documentation requirements. However, the R&D credit can be claimed for any open tax years.
