Essential Tax Credits in IT/Technology

The Future of Remote Work and State Income Tax tab-accordion__panel__content-icon

Maximize Innovation With R&D Credit

The Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit is a cornerstone incentive that rewards companies investing in developing new or improved products, processes or software. You may qualify for a research credit if you work in technology development. The incentive may cover activities like developing new cybersecurity techniques or creating the back-end and front-end architecture for new web projects. It could also act as a cloud computing credit.

We identify and document all qualifying activities, enabling your innovations to translate into tax savings, fostering further growth and developmen

General Federal Tax Incentives

Other reductions support IT/technology companies that advance their company and employees, including:

•   The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) for employing professionals who experience employment barriers.

•   The employer-provided child care credit, which incentivizes companies to support their employees with child care services.

More federal opportunities include an investment reduction for companies that invest in qualifying projects, including energy. An IT or technology company might earn an energy efficiency credit by establishing renewable energy for data centers or buying more energy-efficient IT equipment.

State-Specific Opportunities

States across the nation actively seek to attract and retain technology companies, offering various reductions tailored to foster industry growth. These incentives often cover:

•   Job creation

•   Research and development activities

•   Clean energy investments

Some incentives for job creation apply particularly to IT and technology jobs since these industries can bring significant value to the state. For example, a software development credit applies to firms that create at least five net new jobs in New York under the Excelsior Jobs Program. Other industries must develop many more jobs to be eligible for reductions. 

Tech Industry Tax Resolution

The tech industry’s numerous tax obligations create stringent parameters for its businesses. Tax agencies may impose penalties when a tech company owes more than it paid or misses a due date. If your business has received a tax balance notice from the IRS or state tax commission, Polston Tax can provide crucial support.

Our extensive tax resolution capabilities range from audit preparation to appeals, litigation, penalty abatement and repayment strategies. We work directly with the IRS to advocate for your business and reduce tax debt. With our tax resolution services, you can achieve a manageable solution:
