R&D Tax Credit Study. Cash credit for what you already build.
Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code provides a non-refundable tax credit for qualified research expenditures (QREs) - typically 6-10% of QRE for the regular credit, or simpler Alternative Simplified Credit (ASC). Software development, product engineering, prototyping, process improvement, and many SaaS/manufacturing activities qualify. The PATH Act lets qualifying small businesses elect to apply up to $500K of credit against payroll tax (Form 8974), turning the credit into immediate cash before profitability. We run the study, prepare Form 6765, document under the 4-part test, and stand behind it through any IRS examination.
How we handle Conservation Easement, end-to-end.
A conservation easement is a permanent restriction on the use of land, typically donated to a qualified land trust to preserve the land's natural or open-space character.
Eligibility review
Land must have conservation value: scenic, ecological, historic, open-space, or recreational. We assess whether your land qualifies. Most rural and undeveloped properties do; urban properties rarely.
Land trust selection
Donation must be to a qualified land trust (501(c)(3)). We refer to local and national land trusts (Land Trust Alliance, The Nature Conservancy, regional trusts). They accept the easement and hold the restriction in perpetuity.
Engineering + appraisal
Engineering work documents the conservation value. Qualified appraisal determines diminished land value (the deduction amount). IRS scrutinizes appraisals; we use highly credentialed appraisers with conservation easement experience.
Legal documentation + closing
Easement document recorded with county recorder. Permanent restriction runs with the land. Donor receives appraisal-supported deduction. Coordination with attorney specializing in conservation easements.
