My company doesn't have a laboratory. You do not need white lab coats or scientists to qualify.
The IRS actively rewards "applied engineering" and job-site problem solving. If your crew has to fabricate custom parts, engineer workarounds because a blueprint failed, test new concrete mixes, or figure out complex EV diagnostics, you are doing R&D. We translate your daily trial-and-error into massive tax credits.
2. Why didn't my current CPA tell me about this? Are you replacing them?
Absolutely not. We do not replace your CPA; we partner with them.
Think of your CPA like your general practitioner doctor—they are great at handling your overall historical tax filing. We are the specialists. R&D tax credits require a deep, engineering-based analysis of your daily operations that standard CPAs simply do not have the time or specialized training to perform. We do the heavy lifting and hand the final, compliance-ready numbers to your CPA to file.
3. Will claiming these tax credits trigger an IRS audit?
Claiming a tax credit you legally earned does not automatically trigger an audit. However, the IRS does require strict documentation to prove you did the work.
That is exactly what we do. We don't just calculate your numbers; we build a bulletproof, audit-defensible technical report that backs up every single dollar we claim for you.
4. How much does this process cost upfront?
Zero. We operate on a strict, success-based model. We will conduct a comprehensive business analysis of your recent operations completely free of charge. If we do not find qualifying activities that reduce your tax liability, you do not pay us a dime.
Our fee is simply a percentage of the actual capital we recover for your business.
5. I did a lot of custom work two years ago. Is it too late to claim it?
Not yet, but the clock is ticking.
The IRS allows a strict "3-year look-back window." This means we can amend your past tax returns to capture the credits you earned on projects completed up to 36 months ago.
But once that specific window closes, the government keeps that money forever. This is why we urge owners to get an eligibility review immediately.
