IRS targeting R&D claims ! Here is How To Comply & Maximize Your Tax Credits and Refund.
Be Ready For An Audit.
R&D audit is a special event. It is not like any other normal fiscal audit. In Canada or USA, there are two distinct issues, which must be examined to assess whether your company complies with the requirement and eligibility criteria of the R&D tax credits.
The first issue is the quality of the work done on developing new technological something. Such as a new process or product or a combination of both thereof.
The second issue is related to the expenses incurred to finance the R&D work that has been described under the technological issues and development activities. Both IRS and CRA have very elaborate definitions and policies of what type and category of expenses that may be claimed and allowed.
Finally, and as usual, both the IRS and CRA would like to review the substantiations of all or some of what have been claimed. There are documented cases where very good presented R&D study was disallowed because of lack of substantiation.
