Music Hi guys, I'm Vanessa with Kris Consulting. Today I wanted to take a little bit of time to talk to you more about R&D tax credits for startups. A big question that we get is, how do I claim the R&D tax credit payroll offset? The answer is, follow these steps. First and foremost, and this is so important, make sure that you work with a startup CPA. I can't even tell you how many companies I have seen that worked with Joe Schmo down the street or someone who didn't specialize in the R&D tax credit, and they wound up either with no R&D tax credit study or kind of shoddy work. As a result, they missed out on tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings. So please make sure that you work with someone who is really familiar with startups and someone who knows the R&D tax credit as well. A quick kind of publicity plug, we here at Kris Consulting only work with startups, and we do an amazing job on these types of R&D Tax Credit studies. A second thing you definitely want to do is file the R&D tax credit with your startup CPA on Form 6765. That's known as the credit for increasing research activities, and it's actually a form that goes with your annual tax return. It's the big tax return that's actually known as the 1120. So just know that it's a kind of a subset of that major tax return that you file once a year. Finally, once you've filed your tax return and it has been accepted by the IRS, you're going to have to go back to your payroll provider and claim the R&D tax credit on the payroll tax form 941.

For each of the five tax years to which the credit applies, determine the amount of employee R&D activity attributable to the work in the specified areas of R&D activities (as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.162-6 (b)(2)): Step 3. Determine total employee R&D (including activities that meet both subparagraphs (d) and (e)); calculate the credit that applies each of these areas of R&D activities. This total R&D (including the three-year qualifying period under subparagraph (d)) equals all qualified R&D activities performed in a period, and the total amount of such R&D in each of the first five tax years. Examples of activities and credits for the five-year R&D credit period: Employee work in research and development: 1.00 2.00 3.00 Qualified R&D activities in any one of the five-year period: Total: 1.00 10.00 12.00 Total: 12.00 3.00 10.00 12.00 If qualified R&D activities in any two of the five tax years exceed 20 percent of the total employment in the qualified employment, the excess is not to be allocated to R&D (other) activities, although it may be allocated to the qualified employee's qualified R&D area and used to reduce the R&D credit for the two subsequent tax years.
