Event Synopsis: There have been several taxpayer friendly developments with respect to research and development (R&D) tax credits that (2) broaden the applicability of the credit and (2) provide clarification on whether internal use software (IUS) development costs are eligible for the credit. First, the "Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes" Act (PATH Act) enacted on December 18, 2015 established laws that promoted the ability of many taxpayers, including start-up businesses, to claim the credit. Also, on October 3, 2016 Treasury released final regulations clarifying the types of activities for developing IUS that are eligible for the R&D credit. This Knowledge Group LIVE Webcast will provide a comprehensive discussion of these new opportunities, the general R&D credit rules, and the framework for making a preliminary assessment as to whether the credit could apply to your business or clients. Key topics include: · Basic rules for the activities and costs that qualify for the credit; · Mechanics of the credit calculation · After 31year of temporarily extending the R&D credit, it was made permanent; · Certain small businesses can now use the credit to offset alternative minimum tax; · Certain businesses can use the credit to offset payroll tax; · Explain how IUS can generate a credit opportunity and provide clarity for those activities that qualify for the R&D credit; · Application of Reg Sec 1.174-2 to maximize the credit · Simple ways to identify whether a company is eligible for the credit; and · Approaches to substantiate any claim for the credit. · State research credit incentives About The Knowledge Group, LLC/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series The Knowledge Group was established with the mission to produce unbiased, objective, and educational live webinars that examine industry trends and regulatory changes from a variety of different perspectives.
