As states' need for revenue increases, their likelihood of aggressively seeking all available taxes increases. That, combined with information-sharing between states through the recent streamlined sales tax initiative, makes it even more important to understand when your organization has established nexus in a state. Even an item as small as a phone directory listing may arouse state interest. AGH's team can recommend corrective action to help avoid penalties, assist the company in registering with the applicable state, and negotiate reduction or elimination of penalties if possible.

Most companies engaged in research and development (also called research and experimentation) already claim tax deductions for their costs. For qualifying R&D expenses, however, those same expenses can also generate tax credits as well – a double benefit from the same expenses. If significant tax credits are identified, the organization may choose to file amended tax returns to capture any open years' tax credits. Our tax professionals can also assist with any amended returns required. See how your organization can benefit from our R&D tax credit service.

States looking for additional revenue are stepping up audits and enforcement, even as federal, state, local and sales tax regulations become more complex and harder to understand.

In a reverse review, AGH's tax professionals review prior returns and supporting documentation, including reviewing related transactions for refund potential.
