This course will highlight opportunities for companies to increase their bottom line by taking advantage of state tax credits and incentives that are often overlooked. Specific credits and eligibility requirements for these credits in California, New York, and other states will be discussed.

Description

Many state tax credits and incentives mirror federal equivalents. More than 30 states offer a research and development tax credit. Generally, the state rules for the credit mirror the federal guidelines, however, some states differ. California, for example, defines gross receipts differently and does not include revenue from software, SAAS activity, service and certain other income. Many businesses are not taking advantage of this readily available, lucrative credit. Furthermore, many companies who would be considering amended R&D credit return claims are struggling to meet the rigorous federal guidelines recently released in Field Attorney Advice (FAA) memo 20214101F.

One commonly offered state credit is the investment tax credit. In New York, the list of eligible property includes R&D property and property used by the taxpayer to produce goods. Taxpayers can often take the credit for purchases they were willingly making anyway. State tax advisers need to be aware of the most common state credits and incentives to help increase cash flow for businesses.

Listen as our panel of SALT experts describes the business activities that most often generate state tax credits, general eligibility requirements, and the steps to claim these credits in specific states.
