R&D TAX CREDIT: OHIO
The Research and Development (R&D) tax credit is a Federal tax incentive that rewards taxpayers for increasing investment in U.S.-based research activities. The R&D tax credit is available to businesses that uncover new, improved or technologically advanced products, processes, principles, methodologies or materials. In addition to revolutionary activities, the credit may also be available if the company has performed evolutionary activities such as investing time, money and resources toward improving its products and processes.
THE VALUE
The R&D tax credit is primarily a wage-based credit, which is worth approximately 6.5% of qualified R&D activities. Thus, a taxpayer with $1M of qualified wages could receive a $65,000 benefit. Many states, including Ohio, also offer R&D tax credit that can greatly enhance the value of the study. Further, the credit can often be claimed for prior tax years.
