2. Introduction
• Over the past 35 years the government has enacted over 700 Congressionally mandated
dollar-for-dollar incentives and credits designed to help small businesses keep jobs in
their local community
• A major university study[1] showed that only 5% of eligible small companies take
advantage of these unclaimed refund incentives even though they are entitled to them!
• Many companies do not take advantage of these incentives simply because
they just don’t know about them!
If you are owed these Incentives & Tax Credits for previous
years… wouldn’t you want to find out about them?

4. Introduction
• Congress enacted the Research & Development Tax Credit in 1981
and according to recent IRS data[1], has since been expanded through
several administrations
• However, out of 1.78 million corporate tax returns[2] in the US, only
20,000 claimed any of these business tax incentives
• The Wall Street Journal[3] discovered that 19 out of 20 businesses that
qualified for these benefits are not claiming them although they are
fully entitled to them!

7. The 5 Myths of the R&D Tax Credit
1 These Credits & Incentives are only for large companies
Nothing could be further from the truth. Whether you have a company with
hundreds of employees or are a sole proprietor, you may very well qualify for
these Credits & Incentives that could be worth tens of thousands of dollars to you.
2 These are only for companies who invent something new
You could very well be eligible if you simply modify or improve an existing product
or
service.
3 The R&D Tax Credit won’t help me with my State taxes
In addition to Federal Tax Credits & Incentives, almost 40 States also offer their own
additional Tax Credits & Incentives.
4 The R&D Tax Credits are too complicated to get
