R&D Tax Credits: A Finance Leader’s Guide to Evaluating the Opportunity

  • October 2, 2026

What finance leaders should know about qualifying activity, expenses, documentation, and claim support.

The R&D Tax Credit can provide meaningful financial value for companies investing in product development, process improvement, software, engineering, and other technical activities. Determining the opportunity, however, requires more than identifying innovative work.

This guide outlines what a strong R&D Tax Credit evaluation requires, including how potentially qualifying activity, associated expenses, technical insight, and supporting records come together. It also explores how the credit can support tax efficiency, capital for reinvestment, and greater visibility into R&D-related costs.

Inside the guide, readers will learn:

  • What types of work and expenses may qualify
  • What information supports a thorough evaluation
  • How financial and technical inputs work together
  • What a deeper project-level review can look like in practice
  • How to move from evaluation to a well-supported claim
