Many organizations do not realize that “research and development” under the federal tax code extends well beyond traditional laboratory work. The IRC §41 Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit is a long-standing federal incentive designed to encourage innovation, technical problem-solving, and process improvement—activities commonly performed by engineering, energy, and industrial organizations.

Organizations involved in engineering design, energy optimization, system improvements, or technical problem-solving may be eligible to:

  • Claim federal tax credits for qualifying research and development activities
  • Recognize engineering and technical work that may already meet eligibility requirements
  • Improve overall tax positioning while continuing to innovate

In This Session, You’ll Learn:

  • What activities qualify for the R&D Tax Credit (no lab required)
  • How the Four-Part Test determines eligibility under IRC §41
  • Examples of qualifying engineering and energy-related activities
  • Best practices for documenting and supporting an R&D credit claim

Watch the recording to see what you may be eligible for — and whether there’s still opportunity waiting in prior years.
