Frequently Asked Questions

What is Section 174 and why does it matter?

Section 174 of the US tax code previously allowed software companies to immediately deduct R&D expenses. Since 2022, these costs must be amortized over 5 years (15 for foreign research), significantly increasing tax burdens for software businesses.

Who should use this tool?

CFOs, controllers, and tax professionals at software companies of any size who need to track the financial impact of Section 174 amortization and communicate that impact to stakeholders or legislators.
