Course Description

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), signed into law on December 22, 2017, made fundamental prospective changes to the federal income tax treatment of research and experimental (R&E) expenditures under Internal Revenue Code Section 174. United States taxpayers must capitalize and amortize R&E expenditures, including software development expenses, over 5 years (15 years for foreign R&E).

  • Background on 174 and TCJA 

  • Section 174 Research and Experimentation (R&E) Defined

  • Example 174 R&E Calculation 

  • IRS Method Change Guidance 

  • Legislative Outlook


Learning Objectives:


  • Identify specified R&E activities and related expenditures, including indirect costs
