R&D Tax Credits for Sarasota and Southwest Florida Businesses
What you get
What is the R&D tax credit, and what do you get?
It is a federal credit for businesses that develop or improve products, processes, software or techniques. Florida businesses claim it on their federal returns. It cuts the tax you owe dollar for dollar, and it can be claimed for open prior years.

Direct tax savings
A credit cuts your tax bill itself, not only your taxable income.
Prior years
Open years, usually the last three or four, can be claimed by amended return.
Credit for failed work
Projects that did not succeed can still qualify if they met the test.
Audit-ready study
Documentation your CPA can file, with audit support included.
Who it applies for
Who qualifies for the R&D tax credit?
Eligibility
You do not need a lab or a research department. If your team spends time and money developing or improving products, processes, software or techniques, some of that work may qualify. What matters is the technical problem solving, not whether the project succeeded.
