1
Relying on filing season
Common
Good CPAs file well. Most are not staffed to scope R&D credits proactively.
2
Fear of being too aggressive
Costly
Founders want certainty. Without clear documentation, they claim nothing by default.
3
Bad prior experiences
Avoidable
Some studies are rushed or overly marketed. That creates skepticism even when eligibility is obvious.
Most firms charge for each phase. TaxTaker bundles the full workflow so your CPA gets clean, audit ready deliverables.
Eligibility and strategy
Clear fit, magnitude, and timing guidance with CPA coordination.
Technical R&D study
Project scoping, interviews, and conservative calculation methodology.

Forms and memos your CPA can file confidently, plus substantiation.
Ongoing optimization
Multi year planning and credit strategy as the business scales.
Many clients recover $50k to $500k or more per year. Fees are transparent, capped, and aligned to value.
Our clients love our simple process designed to reduce disruption and increase confidence.

Amazing customer service. Appreciate the diligence around taxes and helping us receive additional credits.
Great team to work with all around!
I had a great experience working with the Taxtaker team especially Maggie Hensley. They were able to answer all my questions and guide me on how to do things.
They rock! So attentive and helpful. They found us 35k, what's not to love.
The team is amazing to work with! Fast & super efficient!
TaxTaker is responsive, knowledgable, creative, and helpful.
The process was very efficient and the team did a great job explaining the process and executing the project.
Easy to work with, very friendly staff, clear expectations of us, good value.
Working with TaxTaker has been great for us. They were efficient and effective and got us great results. Couldn't ask for a better partner!
The TaxTaker team makes the R&D tax credit process really easy, which is something that's very important given any external-driven process can be more difficult to impact or navigate through. The communication, between timeline, expectations, and results, is excellent. And I truly enjoy the people. Everyone involved is nice to work with - personable while professional and engaging.
The team at TaxTaker is amazing. At each step from introduction to tax filing, they provided us exactly what we needed and took up very little of our time. All rapidly growing technology companies should contact TaxTaker. You will be very happy you did.

As a Founder and CEO, my bandwidth is limited but cash is king. I appreciate that TaxTaker makes the tax credit process simple and low maintenance. The payroll integration is a great service and the platform is quick and easy. It's great to access the credit and manage cash flow.

The process with the team was super easy, and they were diligent about staying on top of our refund with the IRS, which ultimately returned over $100k to my company. Thank you so much for your help!

Starting in tax year 2025, businesses can now immediately deduct domestic R&D expenses in the year they occur instead of spreading deductions over five years. The bill also offers refund opportunities for small businesses and faster deduction schedules for larger companies.
If your business has $31 million or less in annual gross receipts, you may be able to:
File amended returns for 2022–2024 to get cash refunds for previously capitalized R&D costs
Deduct remaining unamortized R&D expenses faster starting in 2025
Apply your R&D credit against payroll taxes—up to $500,000 per year for qualifying startups
Yes. Eligible small businesses can retroactively deduct R&D costs from 2022–2024 and claim refunds. Even larger companies can accelerate the deduction of past R&D costs over one or two years starting in 2025.
No. The 15-year amortization rule for foreign R&D remains in place. The new immediate expensing option only applies to U.S.-based research and development.
Savings vary, but many businesses may recover hundreds of thousands of dollars through a combination of:
Full expensing of domestic R&D costs
Retroactive refunds for 2022–2024
Annual R&D tax credits (often worth 5–10% of qualifying expenses)
Startups with less than $5 million in annual revenue can use the R&D credit to offset payroll taxes—up to $500,000 per year—resulting in quarterly cash refunds, even without taxable income.
