Medical device companies often perform technical work that may support an R&D Tax Credit review. The medical device R&D tax credit Ohio opportunity may apply when a company develops or improves devices, components, firmware, materials, manufacturing processes, or testing methods through documented technical experimentation. Quick answer: Medical device companies may qualify when teams evaluate technical alternatives related to device function, performance, reliability, quality, manufacturability, materials, software, or production methods. Eligibility depends on project-specific facts, qualified expenses, and documentation. Routine quality control, regulatory administration, and testing performed after technical uncertainty has been resolved generally need to be separated. Since 2004, RCG has completed more than 25,000 R&D tax credit studies and identified over $750 million in tax savings. RCG’s team includes CPAs, tax specialists, engineers, technical writers, and architects who support federal and state R&D Tax Credit studies with audit-ready documentation.
