Don’t Miss Out: Amending Returns to Claim the R&D Tax Credit
Innovation deserves reward. If your Company has invested in developing new products, improving processes, or building proprietary technology, you may be eligible for the R&D Tax Credit—even if you didn’t claim it on your original tax return.
But here’s the catch: there’s a deadline, and it’s approaching fast.
Why Amended Returns Matter
Many businesses miss the R&D credit simply because they didn’t know they qualified. The good news? You can still claim it by filing an amended return—and potentially unlock significant cash refunds.
IRS rules for amended returns:
- File within 3 years of your original return (including extensions)
Or
- 2 years from the date the tax was paid
Whichever is later.
IRS Deadlines
For example – If your original return was filed in April 2023, your deadline could be April 15, 2026. That’s closer than you think.
What You Need to File
To successfully claim the R&D credit on an amended return, the IRS requires:
- A breakdown of business components (products, processes, software, etc.)
- A description of research activities performed
- A summary of qualified expenses (wages, supplies, contract research)
This isn’t just paperwork—it’s your ticket to a refund. And with IRS scrutiny increasing, accuracy and documentation are everything.
