The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 included major changes to Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Code and could significantly impact small businesses with SBIR/STTR awards and other R&D grants and contracts. These changes require businesses to amortize research and development (R&D) expenses over a five-year period instead of deducting them in the year they were incurred.
The IRS recently released guidance regarding these new rules.
Join our expert in this virtual session to learn more about IRS Section 174 and how it may impact your accounting of SBIR/STTR and R&D expenditures.
We’ll review:
- What you should know about Section 174 and what research activities are affected by the new rules.
- How you should analyze software development costs under Section 174.
- How to identify contract research agreements that are impacted by Section 174.
- What is considered in Section 174 tax implications of disposing of, abandoning, or retiring Section 174 property.
- Common misconceptions and more!
Who should attend:
- Companies from startups with less than 500 employees who do early-stage, technical R&D
- Companies who are seeking early-stage, non-dilutive funding for research toward product development, including from SBIR/STTR.
