Architects & Civil Engineering Firms R&D Tax Credit

All across the nation, Civil Engineering Firms are consistently missing out on millions of dollars in Federal Tax Incentives!

How?

Simple. Federal Tax Incentives have been crafted, passed, and signed into law making hundreds of millions of dollars available. For some reason, Civil Engineering firms consistently fail to capture the money allocated for them.

Why?

Part of it is the fault of government and their lack of effective naming of the Incentives they pass. The Section 41 Credit is inadequately named the “Research Credit”. This poor title makes it sound like it was created to provide funding for medical laboratories. Fortunately the Incentive is so broad, that almost all U.S. based Manufacturing, Engineering, Software Development, and Fabrication firms qualify for money.

How much is available?

We have found Civil Engineering firms, on average, are able to qualify for approximately 25% of total company payroll. For example, a typical firm with a $2,000,000 company payroll will be able to qualify $500,000 of their payroll toward the Section 41 Incentive. The gross benefit of this would be anywhere from $25,000 – $50,000 per year (and firms are allowed to go back three open tax years!).

Why doesn’t the CPA just handle this?

To put it bluntly, they are not qualified. Specialized tax incentives such as this are extremely technical and backed by myriads of case law. CPAs do not have the time nor the knowledge to investigate, determine, procure, and defend specialized tax incentives such as the Section 41.

How should Civil Engineering firms determine their qualification?

First off, they should not file another tax return or remit the next quarterly estimated payment until they have consulted a specialist in this area. A true specialist will be able to provide a solid estimate of benefits through a brief phone consultation.

Please do not let the government’s failure to name an Incentive properly keep you from capturing your benefits in full. Nearly all Civil Engineering firms qualify for Section 41 money. If you would like an estimate of how much you are missing out on, please visit our site, answer a few questions and see your savings in seconds.

Can an LLC Claim the R&D Tax Credit?

An LLC is treated like a sole proprietorship or partnership with an April 15th filing date and an extension date of October 15th. 

An LLC can elect to be treated liked a corporation and change their fiscal year. Avoiding the April 15th filing date allows the LLC to issue K-1's to its Owners and Partners before their personal returns are due.

What is a Schedule K-1?

When an LLC files an amended return as a part of submitting for the R&D Tax Credit, it will issue K-1's to its Owners and Partners. They will then use the form 1040X to amend their personal returns. The 1040X will reflect the gross R&D credit, a tax on that credit, and it will trigger a payment to the Owner for the net R&D credit.

In order to make this work, the LLC must have met its cut-off date for amending its Form 1065 and issued it's K-1's to the Owners. Without the K-1 from the LLC, the Owners do not have a basis for amending their personal returns.

The R&D Tax Credit & the K-1

Part III of the K-1 covers the R&D Tax Credit. What ultimately happens through the filing of these forms is, "flow-through" income and credits apply to the individual taxpayer's personal return, form 1040. Thus, the individual claims his share of the R&D Tax Credit.

Cash Accounting

The cash accounting method is both less complicated and less costly to maintain, while reducing regulatory risk, versus more sophisticated tax methods required in the past. More small businesses can use this favorable method; now firms with up to $10M in gross receipts, up from $5M, can opt in.

It’s not a reach to expect that a small business would save money from less complexity associated with their taxes. These savings, and the attention that would otherwise be focused on complex tax compliance matters, could be used to improve a venture’s chances for success.

Favorable winds are at the back of the entrepreneur and investor alike. But, if their respective sails aren’t set to catch those winds then the creation of good-paying jobs and the realization of market-transforming innovations will be less robust than it could be otherwise.

Those close to the entrepreneur and private investor, that is, anyone directly or indirectly tied to the economic development eco-system (you know who you are), would do well to take it upon themselves to “inform and educate” as it is safe to assume that the intended beneficiaries of this favorable legislation are focused on developing cutting edge technologies and making the next deal, and not so much on deciphering government policy.

Programs such as the Section 41 Research Credit, Cost Segregation, Property Tax Mitigation, Energy EPAct, and others are potentially available to you.

Startups Benefit From “R&D” Tax Credits As Payroll Tax Offset

The PATH Act (“Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes”), related to the “Startup Act”, allows the technology-based startup, which is commonly rich in “qualifying research expenditures” and associated tax credits, but often lacking in taxable income, to now apply “R&D” tax credits against payroll taxes. Startups in this case, among other criteria, are firms with less than $5 million in annual gross receipts.

Restaurateurs - Stop Losing Money!

Restaurants have two major tax incentives available to them, yet most are not taking advantage and consequently losing money. The main programs that most in this industry are missing out on are:

1. Engineering-based Property Cost Allocation
2. Property Tax Reduction

Engineering-based Cost Allocation

Engineering-based cost allocation identifies opportunities for federal, and in some cases, state tax advantages to owners of commercial industrial real estate by accelerating the depreciation on their property.

Taxpayers are typically correct in depreciating personal property such as equipment and furniture over five or seven years, but they often neglect available federal and state tax benefits by erroneously depreciating their entire investment in constructing or acquiring a building over 39 years. To do this correctly, one must hire an experienced engineer with a thorough understanding of construction finance.  The engineer will review all blueprints, architectural drawings, and electrical plans to isolate structural and mechanical components from those that are considered personal property in addition to identifying architectural and engineering fees that can be segregated.  The resulting cost allocation report will allow a taxpayer to:

• Adjust the timing of deductions thus maximizing tax savings
• Create a complete audit trail to resolve any IRS inquiries
• Capture immediate retroactive savings on qualifying properties
• Reduce real estate tax liabilities significantly

Property Tax Reduction

Probably the most frustrating bill that comes each year (or in some cases, twice each year) is the property tax bill. As of this writing, our studies indicate the average Restaurant in the United States is being overcharged by 10% on their property taxes. There are many reasons Restaurants are overcharged but mainly it is the result of improper assessments by the municipality. If you own a Restaurant and are paying property taxes over $50,000 per year, you should have a review completed on your facility. Reductions in this area are direct to your bottom line!

If you have not had a thorough review on your facility, especially as it relates to the areas of Property Cost Allocation, and Property Tax Reduction, you are likely losing money that should remain in your pocket.

Question in regards to the page at www.BusinessRefundEstimate.com

"I have clients purchasing commercial properties (Hotels and Assisted Living facilities) ---would I be able to use this tool to calculate the TAX savings and use that as part of the price negotiations with the sellers? 

Would the rebates/ savings go back to the sellers or would it go back to the new buyer? 

Looking for another creative way to benefit new buyer but at the same time negotiating price and terms with sellers. 

Please advise ASAP. Thanks."

Answer:

Cost segregation is for the purchase or renovations of the building. It is possible for the seller and purchaser of a building to both take advantage of cost segregation during the sale of a building. However, it would need to be reviewed on a discovery call to go over the details to determine for sure. If income is generated Cost Segregation may be a good benefit to offset part of that income.

How to get new ‘my year in review’ feature that shows your most played songs

Keeping clients informed of new or expanded Federal Tax Programs is very important to us. We’ve identified a tax credit that any Client Company immediately qualifies for.

This program falls under the Worker’s Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), and is a Federal tax credit available to all employers who hire and retain qualified individuals. Employers currently claim about $1 billion in credits each year under the WOTC program. The average credit per qualified employee is $2,400 and can be as much as $9,600.

Some of our clients are familiar with the WOTC program and it’s benefits but have not taken advantage of it due to it’s historically difficult qualification process. We’ve eliminated all difficulties of this process with the creation of our exclusive Client Portal. We’ve provided you an easy way to pre-qualify and capture your tax credits.

If you’re wondering “if” you qualify, the answer is ANY business that hires employees qualifies.
