How to Scope Your R&D Tax Credits and the Benefits of Using a Full-Service CPA Firm
September 22, 2022
Join Cherry Bekaert’s Research & Development (“R&D”) team to learn how your organization can take advantage of R&D credits and tax savings. Our professionals will walk you through what documents and data to gather and how to scope various types of R&D credits. Accurate and thorough documentation will become increasingly important as the federal government is drastically expanding the number of Internal Revenue Service agents following the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act.
In the second half of the webinar, we will have a client panel discuss the benefits they experience when engaging a full-service CPA firm after previously working with boutique firms and hear directly from other business leaders on how the process works.
The webinar will:
- Provide a general overview on the R&D tax credit
- Address the information gathering for an R&D credit benefit scoping process
- Discuss what is necessary for estimating R&D benefits in various industries
- Hear from a client panel sharing their positive experiences of working with a full-service CPA firm
Learning Objectives
