12:00 – 1:00 PM CDT

In a decision that is being hailed as a major win for both small businesses and the R&D Tax Credit, in the case of Suder v. IRS, the U.S. Tax Court has issued a sound rejection of "routine research" and "routine engineering," essentially putting an end to the effort to bring back the defunct "discovery rule."

What does this mean for small businesses?According to our Washington insiders, it's among one of the biggest court wins in recent years and could have a substantial impact on your business or your client's business.

Join Steven Miller, former Acting IRS Commissioner and alliantgroup National Director of Tax; Dean Zerbe, former Senior Counsel to the U.S. Senate Finance Committee and alliantgroup National Managing Director; and Jeremy Fingeret, alliantgroup Senior Managing Director of Operations and Tax Controversy Services; for a complimentary CPE webinar on the far-reaching ramifications of this case. 

Find out how this ruling is allowing more businesses to qualify for the R&D Tax Credit and if your business or your client's business could be in line to take advantage of this valuable incentive.
