Sec. 174 R&D Tax Expensing: In 2022 changes to the tax code went into effect that removed the immediate R&D tax deduction in Sec. 174 of the tax code, and replaced it with a 5-year amortization requirement. Deferrals on expenses for tax purposes have been crippling for SBIR firms, which are small and heavily focused on R&D innovation, and so face large added tax bills without cash or other earnings to offset. While the temporarily-added tax revenues from SBIR firms contribute very little to the federal budget, the firms that are hardest hit are the smallest innovators and the early-stage high-growth companies that are not yet making a profit, yet face huge added Sec 174 taxes, threatening their existence and limiting their ability to attract further loans and other investment. While the European Union and China are increasing tax benefits and support for R&D and small business, this cash penalty applied to America’s SBIR entrepreneurs is stifling our earliest stage innovators.
