The New (and Improved!) New Jersey R&D Tax Credit

New Jersey taxpayers have gotten a long-awaited change to the New Jersey R&D tax credit – specifically an Alternative Simplified Credit method. These changes are effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

New Jersey has offered an R&D tax credit since 1992. The activities qualifying for the credit were based upon the federal rules under IRC Sec. 41. At that time, only the Regular Credit method was established. Therefore, many companies claiming the Alternative Simplified Credit (ASC) method for federal purposes may not have been able to claim a credit in New Jersey. Both credits are only available to corporations.

For more information on the federal R&D tax credit, click here .

The new credit method is calculated similarly to the federal ASC method where the base amount is 50% of the average of the prior three-year qualified research expense (QRE). However, there are differences:

  • Where there are no QREs in the prior three tax years, taxpayers still apply the current year QREs against the credit rate of 10%. This is in contrast with the federal calculation where the credit rate drops from 14% to 6% in this scenario.
  • The taxpayer must claim the same method (Regular or ASC) for New Jersey as federal.
  • A taxpayer CANNOT use the QREs claimed for the federal payroll refund for the New Jersey credit.
  • The rationale is that the New Jersey credit is based upon the federal corporate income tax credit. Under The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015, the payroll refund offset for qualified small businesses was a separate credit under IRC Sec. 3111(f).
  • Therefore it will be critical for taxpayers to use the IRS Form 6765 as a starting point on the New Jersey credit.

What this means 

  • Taxpayers with large revenues were likely not creditable under the previous New Jersey credit regime (Regular method). If they have QREs in New Jersey, they should perform the ASC method to see if creditable.
  • If the taxpayer is claiming the federal ASC method, they need to ensure that method is used for New Jersey.
  • Many taxpayers are qualified small businesses and claim the payroll offset. Those expenses are not includable in the New Jersey credit calculation.

R&D Tax Credits

R&d tax credits.

new jersey research and development tax credit form

Small business survival and growth requires adequate working capital. One overlooked source of cash for New Jersey manufacturers is the Research and Development (R&D) tax credit. This incentive helps companies to grow by reducing its tax liability for qualified R&D expenditures.

Most manufacturers are unaware that their efforts in designing quality products qualify as R&D, and may make them eligible for tax credits for expenditures associated with these activities . R&D credits may be applied to taxes due or to future tax liability, and they may be retroactive for three years in addition to the current year and carry forward for twenty years! These credits can additionally be used to reinvest in the company.

New Jersey R&D Tax Credit

Businesses today invest heavily in research and development to remain competitive in an increasingly digital global economy. However, many companies don’t have the resources or cash flow to fund these programs from their own operating capital. As a result, they are at a disadvantage when meeting international standards for innovation and growth.

Fortunately, state lawmakers understand that without funding assistance, such businesses may not be able to invest in new R&D programs. For this reason, legislators have created tax credits for R&D programs across the US. New Jersey R&D tax credit is an incentive for businesses in the area to continue growing and expanding at home instead of moving overseas or shutting down completely.

New Jersey Research and Development Tax Credit Explained

New Jersey research tax credit has undergone significant modifications that affect tax years starting from 2018. In general, it equals ten percent of the extra QREs above the basic amount. The state follows the federal description of QREs (you can check it in IRC Section 41. (b) ).

You can also utilize the alternative simplified method to calculate incentives for taxable years that end on or following July 31, 2019. But that method only applies to consolidated groups, so you must be a part of a combined group that is included on an NJ combined return .

In contrast to its federal counterpart, the New Jersey research tax credit is solely available to C-corporations and some qualified S-corporations. Moreover, stockholders cannot receive any credits.

Unused credits typically have a 7-year carryforward window. However, credits closely connected to specific industries have a 15-year carryover duration. They include medical device technology, environmental technology, electronic device technology, biotechnology, advanced materials, and advanced computing industries.

How to Calculate New Jersey R&D Tax Credit

Take ten percent of the surplus of QREs for the taxable year above the base amount, then add ten percent of basic research costs for the taxable period. Moreover, New Jersey started allowing the ASC method to compute credits on January 1, 2018, but there won’t be Code 280C compliance.

Claiming the Federal Payroll Tax Credit

The permissible payroll credit under IRC Sections 3111(f) and 41(h)(1) and the corporate income tax credits under IRC Section 41(a) are different incentives. The federal corporate income tax credit is the foundation for the NJ Corporation Business Tax R&D Tax Credit. For this reason, the NJ research tax credit doesn’t cover such costs, and you shouldn’t use them to calculate the final amount.

New Jersey Research and Development Tax Credit: Takeaway

If you own an S-Corp in New Jersey, you are eligible for a credit relating to expanding your research operations to the extent of your NJ corporation tax burden. But you can’t pass it on to the shareholders.

New Jersey R&D Tax Credit

Discover the benefits of New Jersey state credits and see how your business could qualify.

There have been major changes to the New Jersey R&D Credit that are prospective only for tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The New Jersey R&D credit provides a credit roughly equal to 10% of the excess of qualified research expenses over the base amount.

New Jersey mirrors the federal definition of QREs, as defined by IRC § 41(b). For tax years ending on or after July 31, 2019, taxpayers should use the Federal rules for computing the New Jersey R&D Credit that are applicable to consolidated groups if the taxpayers are a taxable member of a combined group included on a New Jersey combined return.

Unlike the Federal R&D credit, the New Jersey R&D credit is only applicable for qualifying C-Corps and in rare circumstances S-Corps.  However, no credits can be passed through to shareholders.

There is generally a 7 year carryforward period for unused credits.  Alternatively, there is a 15 year carryforward period for credits directly tied to projects involving specific study fields (see below).

Research and development (R&D) tax credit services

Maximize your investments with the r&d tax credit, become a client, helping you secure research and development tax credits to offset r&d businesses investments.

Many private and public companies in the middle market pursue vigorous research and development programs to thwart fierce competition and explore future market opportunities. The Research and Development (R&D) Tax credit makes provisions for a benefit based on qualified expenditures that exceed a specific base amount. In addition to the federal credit, many states offer R&D tax credits.

If you engage in the following activities, you potentially qualify for R&D tax credits:

  • Developing new products
  • Improving existing products
  • Developing new or improved manufacturing or production processes
  • Developing new production equipment
  • Attempting to use new materials
  • Designing and fabricating tools and dies
  • Developing certain types of software

Many middle market companies don’t have the internal resources to investigate and compile documentation to sustain the credits under Internal Revenue Service or state examinations.  

Our R&D tax credit specialists understand the nuances of the complex rules for qualification and have years of experience developing supportable tax credit claims. Our approach includes fully understanding your business and your research activities and scaling our tools and processes to fit your business. We can help you maximize your investment in the future of your business.

When considering the research and development tax credit, it is important to work with a company who has industry-specific knowledge. RSM can perform a research tax credit study, using statistical sampling to reduce the burden on your organization.
