Software R&D tax credits
Software claims need a clear technical uncertainty, not just a feature roadmap or standard implementation work.
Start with the R&D tax credit calculator for a quick value estimate, or the 30-second eligibility checker if you're not sure your work counts.
Algorithmic performance, data processing limits, system architecture constraints, integration uncertainty, and novel technical approaches can be worth reviewing when competent professionals could not readily solve them.
Routine UI work, ordinary CMS builds, configuration, bug fixing after release, and known integrations are harder to support unless they involve a deeper technological uncertainty.
Keep technical tickets, architecture notes, rejected approaches, prototypes, benchmarks, pull requests, sprint plans, and engineer time records tied to the specific uncertainty.
