SUMMARY:NTMA Webinar: R&D Tax Credits Explained
DESCRIPTION:Manufacturing leaders face critical deadlines affecting R&D tax credit claims. Recent legislative changes have expanded qualification criteria\, potentially unlocking substantially larger credits for companies that previously filed. However\, time-sensitive windows are closing for amended returns. \n\n\n\nGreg Knarr from alliantgroup will give attendees the latest on urgent compliance requirements and reveal how updated regulations enable manufacturers to capture credits previously left on the table. Companies that filed R&D claims in prior years must act quickly to assess eligibility under revised guidelines. Missing these deadlines means forfeiting significant additional credits. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and ask your questions live. \n\n\n\nFREE for NTMA Members — use code TAXCREDIT  |  $10 for non-members
