The Research and Experimentation tax credit is offered by both US states and the federal government to promote technological activities performed in the US. The Substantiator is a formalized way to gather the documentation that you must have prior to filing for the credit. It not only tracks activities performed. It also administers the process of gathering surveys which can be used as substantiation.
It was designed to minimize the amount of time and effort required of your employees to fill out this important documentation. The Extension allows your employees to fill out our forms specifically addressing the requirements for R&D documentation, when they have the time to do so.
It archives your employee’s time tracking data and survey data in a “5 nines” data store in the cloud. The stored data can be downloaded by your tax manager or administrator on demand into an Excel spreadsheet.
