TCG for CPAs

R&D

Did you know that the research tax credit is one of the most complicated sections of the entire tax code? In fact, the IRS declared it the most commonly reported “uncertain tax position” in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The R&D credit can be a valuable addition to any tax professional’s service line, but keeping up with everchanging rules, gathering the necessary documentation from clients and dealing with time-consuming controversy work often diminishes that value for busy CPAs.

At TCG, we do the heavy lifting, allowing our CPA partners to offer a full suite of Federal and State R&D tax credit services without spending valuable time and resources dealing with all the red tape.

ERC

With so many recent legislative and regulatory changes, CPAs are inundated with ever-changing tax laws. Understanding the intricacies of the Employee Retention Credit is no exception.  Gathering the necessary paper-work, analyzing the data and the intersect of other impacts such as Payroll Protection Loans or other incentives and credits such as WOTC, R&D, SVOGs can be a time consuming process that many CPA firms simply can’t absorb.

By partnering with TCG, our CPA partners can rest assured that their clients will receive the maximum ERC benefit allowable, while ensuring the credit is supportable. That’s peace of mind.
