Other Company Specific Factors:
While normally an R&D tax credit study can only include open tax years (typically the current year and the three prior years), Tax Point determined that this company could go back to certain closed years and carry forward credits from them.
This resulted in a larger credit for the client, and they and their CPA did not have to amend returns for the closed years since the credits from those years simply carried forward to the first open year.
Ultimate Benefit to Company:
Tax Point estimated a mid-six figure credit range for the company during the assessment phase, but was able to find an additional $300,000 in credits above the original estimate.
