Sure. I also agree it's unreasonable. But it's not an interpretation. That's actually what the rule is now unless Congress acts to change it! EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the IRS is not thrilled with the c

You're mixing up two different things here. There is no reward for R&D under this rule change. If anything it penalizes R&D, especially in the case of speculative ventures (startups, new product development, and so forth). The

I am not a CPA, but my understanding from extensive discussions with one is: If the salaries contributed towards the development of new software it is an R&D expense. You must amortize them. Those salaries or contractor fees are not ded

Everyone commenting in this thread that R&D can be written off is working with outdated information and is not up to date with the current state of play. I had the exact same conversation with my CPA last month. They told me the same th

You don't have a choice anymore. It's required to be amortized as of FY22. I had the same conversation with my CPA in January. To make matters worse, failed or abandoned R&D projects can also no longer be written off, and must

I’m not so sure. Running a business exposes you to tremendous personal risk, especially in a litigious country like the US. It’s also incredibly hard, most often fails, and typically confers less prestige than other much more reliable and s
