October Recap: Big Incentives. Bigger Launch. Here's What's New at TaxTaker

A Note from Ari

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!
