About the Course

Introduction

This course will showcase how companies can boost their bottom line by utilizing often-overlooked state tax credits and incentives. It will also cover specific credits and eligibility requirements for various states.

Description

Many state tax credits and incentives mirror federal equivalents. 

Maximizing profitability and staying competitive are crucial goals for any business. State tax credits and incentives serve as valuable strategic tools in achieving these objectives. However, many companies overlook the significant opportunities available through R&D and other state tax incentives. This course will highlight ways companies can boost their bottom line by leveraging state tax credits and incentives that are often underutilized, equipping businesses to uncover and capitalize on these hidden opportunities.

Listen as our panel of Credits and Incentive experts describes the business activities that most often generate state tax credits, general eligibility requirements, and the steps to claim these credits in specific states.
