EY: Recent Trends In The Research Credit

Research credit claims continue to be the subject of frequent litigation and administrative attention. Federal court decisions emphasize the importance of documentation supporting the performance of qualifying activities and time spent by individuals on such qualifying activities. The result of these decisions is reflected in examination trends and administrative action by the IRS and state tax authorities. On this webcast, we will review recent research credit-related court decisions and pending cases and discuss how these decisions are influencing tax administration (IRS and state examinations).

This webcast is relevant to taxpayers with research credit claims, taxpayers under examination, and taxpayers contemplating research credit claims in the future. Understanding the current judicial decisions and government litigation positions will help taxpayers anticipate what will be required to sustain their research credits.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Recent research credit court decisions
• How the research credit litigation environment is influencing federal and state examinations
