Strategic Incentives Solutions, Inc. specializes in identifying and documenting R&D Tax Credit opportunities for businesses across all industries. Our proprietary screening process — based on the IRS four-part test — takes just 5–10 minutes to complete.
The IRS Standard
Under IRC Section 41, a research activity must satisfy all four parts of this test to qualify for the R&D Tax Credit. Our screening evaluates your business against each criterion.
Business Component Test
Your activity must relate to developing or improving a product, process, software, technique, formula, or invention — aimed at improving functionality, quality, reliability, or performance.
Technical Uncertainty Test
You must be attempting to eliminate uncertainty about the capability, method, or appropriate design of the business component. Even unsuccessful research may qualify.
Systematic Trial & Evaluation
Your work must involve a systematic process of evaluating alternatives — modeling, simulation, testing hypotheses, or trial and error to resolve the technical uncertainty.
Hard Science Foundation
The activity must fundamentally rely on principles of engineering, computer science, physical science, or biological science — not social sciences, arts, or management studies.
Who Qualifies
The R&D Tax Credit is not limited to technology companies or laboratories. Businesses across a wide range of industries regularly qualify — often without realizing it. If your work involves solving technical problems or improving processes, you may be leaving significant credits unclaimed.
