R&D tax credit studies.
Built around your work.
Some work to develop or improve agricultural products and processes may qualify for the R&D tax credit. We evaluate the activities, alternatives considered, records, and expenses behind that work.
Technical work deserves
a technical review.
The R&D credit can reduce tax liability, subject to calculation and utilization rules. It is not a dollar-for-dollar reimbursement of research spending.
A study evaluates the purpose of the work, technical uncertainty, experimentation, and the expenses and records that support it. Our CPAs and agronomists prepare the report and workpapers; your tax preparer prepares the return and required attachments.
Activities we can evaluate
- Crop production, variety, and fertility trials
- Biological product and application trials
- Irrigation and application-process development
- Equipment or production-system development
- Feed formulation and livestock production trials
A clear process.
From the first conversation.
Defined responsibilities. Documented methods. Practical communication at every step.
- 01
Initial review
We get to know your operation, potential projects, and available records, then explain whether a study appears worthwhile.
- 02
Information collection
We gather project details, production records, and expense support from the systems and files you already use.
- 03
Technical & financial analysis
Our CPAs and agronomists evaluate the evidence, requirements, and calculations, with a source behind every number.
- 04
Review & reporting
After technical review, we deliver the study, supporting schedules, and filing support to your tax preparer.
