Discovery call with an R&D tax specialist. No obligation.
Most founders I speak with assume their work is too ordinary to qualify. If your engineers are solving problems without a known answer, you're already doing the research the credit was written for.
Turn the estimate into an actual claim
A quick discovery call with a specialist confirms what qualifies, which years are worth amending, and what we'd need from you to make the claim audit-ready.
This is an estimate for planning purposes, not tax advice, and it doesn't account for state credits, payroll-tax offsets, ownership changes, or prior carryforwards. Your actual credit depends on a qualification review of your specific activities and records.

Billions in R&D credits go unclaimed every year. Why? Because businesses don’t know they qualify, or they don’t have the time or expertise to file.

Once the amendment period closes, the credits for the past tax years are gone.
The changes to the tax code gives businesses a short window to amend past returns and claim retroactive R&D credits. Once that period closes, the opportunity is gone for good.
