Many Businesses Don't Realize They Qualify

Here are some everyday examples of missed R&D Tax Credits:
Food Manufacturer – Tweaking a Recipe

A bakery kept getting complaints that their gluten-free bread was too dense. The head baker tried 15 different flour blends, adjusted yeast levels, and experimented with baking times. None of this felt like “R&D”, but it involved:

  • Uncertainty: Would the bread rise and hold shape without gluten?
  • Experimentation: Multiple test batches with measurable results.

✔️ Result: Qualified R&D credit for the time and wages of staff experimenting and documenting test runs.

Construction Firm – Concrete Mix Adjustments

A regional contractor had to meet a new municipal standard requiring concrete to withstand freeze-thaw cycles better. They worked with suppliers to test additives, adjusted water content, and poured test slabs on site.

  • To them, this was “just figuring out the mix.”
  • In reality, it was experimentation to resolve uncertainty about materials.

✔️ Result: Their engineers and foremen’s time qualified for R&D credits.

Winery – Experimenting with Bottling

A family-run winery struggled with spoilage during overseas shipping. They tested different corks, liners, and bottling equipment until they found a method that kept the wine stable in transit.

  • They assumed only “scientists” get credits.
  • In reality, trial-and-error to improve a product’s performance = R&D.

✔️ Result: Their winemaker’s time, lab testing, and supplies qualified.

Software Company – Internal Use Automation

A 25-person software shop built a custom tool to automate their project management because off-the-shelf solutions didn’t fit. Developers tested different code libraries, debugged API integrations, and scrapped two prototypes before landing on a workable version.

  • They thought: “We’re just coding something for ourselves.”
  • IRS view: developing new software with uncertainty and testing.

✔️ Result: Wages for devs, cloud hosting costs, and contractor fees qualified.

"When I start my next company, I won't hire employees to do my accounting. I'm going to go straight to indinero. I think it's a higher level of expertise than I could hire myself because I don't have a big enough company to hire a full-time CFO, controller and bookkeeper. I want people who can do those things and do them well, but I only need them fractionally. I think that's part of why the model works really well."

“I’ve been through 10 bookkeepers in 16 years. Indinero is the best we have worked with, and there is no close second. They are the first bookkeeper who successfully set us up for accrual bookkeeping. That seems a real struggle for food service companies because it is a lot of work.”

Step 1 of 3

Answer to find out if you're eligible for R&D tax credits.

Do the activities performed relate to a new or improved business component’s function, performance, reliability, quality, or composition?(Required)
For Example: A mid-sized packaging company develops a slightly modified cardboard box design to improve its stacking strength (reliability) for warehouse storage, involving minor adjustments to the corrugation pattern to reduce collapse under standard weight loads.
Is your company trying to discover information to eliminate uncertainty concerning the capability or method for developing or improving a business component?(Required)
For Example: A furniture manufacturer investigates whether a cheaper wood adhesive can hold joints as effectively as the current one during assembly, testing bond strength to resolve doubts about its capability in standard production lines.
Do the activities performed constitute a process of experimentation?(Required)
