Tax Credits

 

Specialized guidance to navigate complex tax credit opportunities

Whether you’re a family business or a well-established corporation, there’s a strong chance you’re leaving valuable incentives on the table – credits that can significantly reduce your tax liability and boost your bottom line.

At Keiter, we specialize in helping businesses maximize the benefits of federal, state, and local tax credits. Our experienced and knowledgeable team tailors tax credit strategies to benefit your unique business structure and goals.

Navigating the complexities of tax credit opportunities requires more than awareness – it requires strategic guidance. Our team helps clients identify, qualify for, and optimize valuable tax incentives such as Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) investments, Historic Tax Credits (HTC), Research & Development (R&D) credits, and Pass-Through Entity (PTE) tax elections. We evaluate your business activities, transactions, and investment plans to uncover eligibility, guide compliance, and structure filings for maximum benefit. Whether you’re restoring a historic property, funding innovation, or reducing state tax exposure, we provide the expertise and proactive planning needed to turn credits into real financial savings.

HTC – Historic Tax Credit

 

Restoring Value with Historic Tax Credits

 

The Historic Tax Credit (HTC) encourages the preservation and rehabilitation of certified historic buildings. It offers a federal income tax credit (typically 20%) for qualified rehabilitation expenses on income-producing properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places or located in historic districts. Some states offer additional credits to stack with the federal benefit.

R&D – Research and Development Tax Credit

 

Fueling Innovation Through R&D Incentives

 

The R&D Tax Credit (also known as the Research Credit) incentivizes companies to invest in innovation, product development, and process improvement. It provides a dollar-for-dollar credit for qualified research expenses (QREs), such as wages, supplies, and contract research. It’s available at both the federal and state levels and is often used by startups, manufacturers, and tech firms.

PTE – Pass-Through Entity Tax Credit

 

Maximize Your Tax Position with PTE Expertise

 

The Pass-Through Entity (PTE) Tax Credit is a workaround for the federal $10,000 cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions. Many states have implemented PTE tax elections, allowing partnerships and S corporations to pay state income tax at the entity level. Owners then receive a credit on their personal return, effectively preserving the full deductibility of state taxes at the federal level.
