Howdy! 👋
I’ve been thinking a lot about how long it takes to get good at something.
It took us years to really master R&D tax credits. ERC was a beast, a year and a half of systems, updates, and audits. 179D? We crossed over a million in revenue in less than a year.
Every program has its own learning curve. But each time, we’ve built a better foundation, stronger processes, and faster results.
And now, we’re ready to tackle something new.
This month, we’re rolling out a new incentive vertical: Texas Film & TV. We’re excited to support even more creators, innovators, and builders, and we’re always on the lookout for what’s next.
If you’re sitting on an idea or a project and wondering if the window’s closed, trust me, it’s not. You’ve still got time.
Let’s finish this year strong!

Say hello to our latest offering: Texas Film & TV Incentives!
With up to 31% in cash rebates available for productions happening in the Lone Star State, Texas is investing heavily in becoming a creative powerhouse. And TaxTaker is here to help you access every dollar you're eligible for.
