R&D Tax Credit: Latest Developments and Issues Explored
On January 10, 2022, the Office of Chief Counsel IRS Memorandum Number 20214101F1 (IRS CCM) took effect requiring additional documentation for employers when filing for a research and development (R&D) refund on tax returns. The IRS CCM also provides guidance on acceptable documentation when filing R&D Credit refund claims.
While the R&D tax credits provide substantial advantages for businesses, the compliance space becomes more complex as new requirements emerge. Thus, it becomes imperative for organizations to keep themselves abreast of any further development in this field to avoid pitfalls.
Additionally, many companies are questioning the new requirement to capitalize and amortize R&D expenses in 2022. How does this affect a company’s ability to take the R&D tax credit in 2022?
