Questions
If your team develops or improves products, processes, or software through experimentation, it likely qualifies. The IRS four-part test is the standard, and Amadae applies it to each project so you know before you claim.
Wages for qualified work, supplies consumed in research, cloud computing used for development, and 65% of qualified contract research. Amadae tracks and allocates all four categories from your live books.
Yes. Qualifying startups can apply up to $500,000 of the credit per year against payroll taxes instead of income tax, which means real cash flow even before profitability.
The claim is built on contemporaneous documentation: time allocations, linked commits, expense records, and project narratives assembled while the work happened. That is exactly the evidence an examiner asks for.
Turn the research you already do into credits you actually claim.
