R&D Tax Credit

"Sometimes CPAs get a little nervous or apprehensive because they're fully understanding what the research credit is about, how to claim it. So they're skeptical about how they want to prepare it or present it on return...

Trying to get bigger amounts of credits for our clients, but we work together. So there's really no competition." - Jen Bolton The finer details of this episode : * What is an R&D Tax Credit? * What are the new rules that applies to the R&D Tax Credit? * How do you know what qualifies for an R&D Tax Credit? * Advantages of partnering with firms like Leyton, that specialize in R&D Tax Credit Episode resources * Summit CPA website - www.summitcpa.net [http://www.summitcpa.net/] * Email us with questions - tax@summitcpa.net  [tax@summitcpa.net] * Leyton website - www.leyton.com [https://leyton.com/us/rd-tax-credit-i-am-already-claiming/]
