Client Profile:

Problem:

• No Documentation to Support R&D Tax Credit Claims. Over the years, the company used their internal finance and accounting personnel to claim federal and state R&D tax credits for the tax years 2010 – 2016 and since the company was in a tax loss with millions of dollars of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards they did not invest a lot of time documenting their research activities and expenses but instead calculated the credits based on estimates and assumptions
• Current IRS Audit. After many years of claiming the R&D tax credit, the IRS opened up an examination into the federal tax returns filed for tax years 2015 and 2016 with particular interest in the R&D tax credit claims.
