Frequently asked questions
Get answers to common questions about R&D tax benefits under the new OBBBA law.
What qualifies as R&D under the new law?
Under the new Section 174A created by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, domestic R&D expenses are 100% deductible in the year incurred. Qualifying activities must meet the IRS four-part test: permitted purpose, technological in nature, technical uncertainty, and process of experimentation. This covers wages, supplies, U.S. contractor costs, and cloud computing for R&D.
What is the difference between the deduction and the credit?
The Section 174A deduction is a timing benefit — you would eventually get those deductions over 5 years anyway. The Section 41 R&D tax credit is the real win: a permanent, dollar-for-dollar reduction of your actual tax bill. Credits you never claimed are savings permanently lost.
Can I claim credits for prior years?
Yes. You can calculate and claim R&D tax credits for up to 3 prior years by filing amended returns. For small businesses with gross receipts under $31 million, you can also retroactively apply Section 174A to 2022-2024 returns. The deadline for the retroactive election is July 6, 2026.
Do I need to be a tech company to qualify?
Not at all. R&D credits apply across 50+ industries including manufacturing, engineering, architecture, construction, food and beverage, agriculture, pharma, aerospace, automotive, and energy. If your U.S. team develops or improves products, processes, or software, you likely qualify.
