Is your “everyday” architecture work actually a massive tax saving opportunity?
In the architectural world, the conversation is almost always the same: “I’m just doing my job.” But that iterative process—starting with a concept and working through technical uncertainties to reach a final result—is the exact definition of Research & Development (R&D).
Many architects feel that R&D tax credits are “too good to be true” because they apply to the work you do every single day. In this video, we break down why that skepticism exists and how to correlate your design phases with IRS-approved R&D activities.
Key Takeaway
If you are determining an end result through a process of experimentation and technical problem-solving, you aren't just designing—you're innovating.
In this video, we cover:
- Why the architectural industry struggle to see their work as “R&D.”
- The “Iterative Process” definition and how it meets tax requirements.
- How to handle project uncertainty at the onset.
- The correlation between design concepts and qualifying tax claims.
