We have significant experience conducting R&D studies for a variety of industries, including manufacturing, construction, transportation and logistics, engineering, software development, and chemical products. We can help to review your current R&D Tax Credit calculation or conduct an R&D Tax Credit Study to determine the amount of any potential savings. 

We can also facilitate your company’s accounting and application for the R&D Tax Credit by:

• assisting your staff in identifying the qualifying R&D activities
• gathering and documenting the related costs
• detailing the state tax benefits that may be available
• preparing any required tax filings, including how to file Form 6765

Federal R&D Tax Credits

Both federal and state tax credits exist to reward companies in Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa and across Arizona for investing in Research and Development. Federal R&D Tax Credits can net as much as 10% of actual expenditures. Additionally, new tax rules (post-2006) might make it easier for your company to claim Federal R&D tax credits.

About Arizona

Arizona is home to the Grand Canyon National Park—a must-see for most travelers. The canyon stretches over ten miles in northern Arizona. A 2012 study estimated that the Colorado River started carving out the Grand Canyon 70 million years ago. After the 1950s the state’s population grew tremendously and is continuing to grow to this day. Phoenix and Tucson are the most highly populated cities in the state. Several major companies, such as PetSmart and Circle K, are headquartered there.
