\/divi:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- divi:paragraph -->\n<p>TaxOps Partners Jamie Overberg and Sean Espy will provide businesses and their tax advisers with a practical discussion of how the R&amp;D tax credit applies to software development activities. Topics covered include Section 41 criteria for R&amp;D credits, credit requirements for non-internal-use software vs. internal-use software (IUS), and review new Section 174 considerations for software companies in light of the OBBBA (One Big Beautiful Bill Act).<\/p>\n<!-- \/divi:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- divi:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Description<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/divi:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- divi:paragraph -->\n<p>The R&amp;D credit offers valuable benefits to all companies; however, software developers must meet specific requirements to qualify.&nbsp;<strong>All software must satisfy a four-part test to be eligible for the R&amp;D credit<\/strong>&nbsp;under IRC Section 41. In addition to the four-part test for software, IUS must also satisfy a three-part high-threshold innovation test under Treasury Regulation Section 1.41-4(c)(6). For IUS, a taxpayer must establish that:<\/p>\n<!-- \/divi:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- divi:paragraph -->\n<p>(1) The software is innovative;<\/p>\n<!-- \/divi:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- divi:paragraph -->\n<p>(2) The software development involves significant economic risk; and<\/p>\n<!-- \/divi:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- divi:paragraph -->\n<p>(3) The software is not commercially available for use by the taxpayer in that the software cannot be purchased, leased, or licensed and used for the intended purpose without modifications\u2026 .<\/p>\n<!-- \/divi:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- divi:paragraph -->\n<p>Tax practitioners and software companies must also&nbsp;<strong>consider the OBBBA revisions to Section 174 expenses<\/strong>.
