In this presentation, Darrin Jahnel and Zach Hartman, of InfoLink R&D Tax Specialists, will demystify the R&D Tax Credit and show how companies across manufacturing, software development, engineering, and architecture can unlock significant financial benefits by identifying qualifying activities they’re already performing. Participants will learn how these activities—such as designing new or improved production processes, engineering innovative structural solutions, or developing custom software to enhance function, performance, or quality—can translate to valuable R&D credits. Through practical examples and plain‑language guidance, this session will help startups better understand eligibility, documentation, and how to turn innovation into real tax savings.
