Event Description
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) made very favorable taxpayer changes to Section 174, which determines the tax treatment of research and experimental (R&E) expenses. OBBBA allowed for the immediate deduction of domestic R&E expenses through the introduction of a new Section 174A and provides mechanisms for transitioning from the recent five-year amortization schedule to an immediate deduction for domestic R&E expenditures. The OBBBA changes offer tax saving opportunities through these R&E expenditures.
