FAQ

Questions R&D Tax Credit Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    What is the difference between the Regular and ASC methods?

    The Regular method calculates credit based on current year QRE exceeding a base amount, while the ASC method uses 14% of 50% of the average QRE from the previous three years.

  • 02

    How can I find out which method is better for my company?

    You can use the recommend_optimal_tax_strategy capability to compare both methodologies and identify the one that yields the highest credit value.

  • 03

    What inputs are required for the ASC calculation?

    The calculate_asc_method_credit capability requires a list of qualified research expenses (QRE) from the three preceding tax years.
