60-second check
Do you qualify?
The IRS uses a four-part test for qualified research. Answer four quick questions about your work this year.
Question 1 of 4 · Permitted purpose
Did you create or improve a product, process, software, formula or technique?
Think new features, better performance, higher reliability, or improved quality.
Question 2 of 4 · Technological in nature
Did that work rely on engineering, computer science, or the physical or biological sciences?
Software development, chemistry, mechanical design, and lab science all count here.
Question 3 of 4 · Elimination of uncertainty
At the start, were you unsure how to do it, whether it could be done, or what the right design was?
If the answer wasn’t obvious to your team, there was uncertainty.
Question 4 of 4 · Process of experimentation
Did you test, prototype, model or iterate on alternatives to find the answer?
A/B tests, prototypes, simulations, trial batches and code iterations are typical.
