Empowering Architecture Firms with R&D Incentives
The R&D Tax Credit was created by Congress for architects and building system designers. Via a potential six-figure benefit, this powerful refund rewards your day-to-day activities such as:
- Concept ideation and development
- Creating or improving on building structures, systems, or master plans
- Improving efficiency to meet LEED or other standards
- Refining designs using computer-aided design tools
Your activities don’t need to result in something new to the world, as long as you engaged in systematic trial-and-error to get to the final design.
Given the recent legislation that fixed Section 174 and restored R&D incentives to their full power, as well as misinformation about key deadlines and procedures, it’s critical you talk to a reputable provider to ensure you are fully capitalizing on these changes. We’ve helped thousands of architects and engineers boost their bottom lines with this incentive. Schedule a time below for a gratis assessment:
