How the R&D tax credit process works

Four steps from the first screening to a filed, audit-ready claim.

1

Free screening

A 5–10 minute screening based on the IRS four-part test. We review your answers against IRC Section 41 and estimate whether a credit is likely.

2

Discovery interview

A guided conversation and a questionnaire built for your business document each qualifying project.

3

Calculation

We calculate the credit and prepare Form 6765, project narratives and employee time allocations.

4

CPA hand-off

We work with your CPA or tax preparer and hand over an audit-ready package. If the IRS asks questions, we respond.
