October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth. Did you know that women face a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer in the United States? That number hits close to home for many of our professionals who have witnessed firsthand how traumatic and painful cancer can be for everyone involved. At alliant, we care deeply about the health of our professionals and their families. Our founder and CEO Dhaval Jadav serves on the board of the CEOs Against Cancer - National Houston chapter with the American Cancer Society. Until cancer has a cure, there’s always more we can do. In honor of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, let’s start with becoming educated about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and sharing that information with the loved ones in our lives! 💗 #EndCancer #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #ACS #BCAM

Thanks for the comments and reactions. I really believe if companies saw the amount of effort that takes place and the knowledge and expertise that exists at alliantgroup to properly conduct these studies, they would agree. I'm a strong believer in human judgement when it comes to the complexity of qualifying activities within a complex integrated solution. As always, thanks for the incredible partnership and ongoing support of NSCA.
📣 NSCA members, listen up: AI-driven R&D providers are popping up to help companies complete their R&D credit studies. But these AI firms give off a “DIY” approach to an R&D credit study. According to them, you do all the legal analysis to find out which of your projects qualify. You figure out how much time each of your employees spent on each project. Then, you put that information into AI to calculate your credit. In other words: Think twice before you decide to work with a provider like this and spend some time researching your options. The IRS recommends that you stay away, and two former IRS commissioners are saying it’s a mistake. The Washington Post says AI is wrong 50% of the time when it comes to complex tax questions. We understand the importance of getting your R&D credit studies right, which is why we recommend alliantgroup to our members. (Many integrators have taken advantage of what this credit offers. Learn more about it here: https://lnkd.in/e3VT_9Nt. ) We don’t recommend putting all your unvetted projects into AI and letting it tell you what qualifies. That sounds like a fast way to get audited. https://lnkd.in/dK8xcMHQ

"The allure of convenience and speed offered by AI R&D pop-up shops cannot and should not overshadow the potential risks involved." Eric Hylton's warning serves as a stark reminder that the stakes are too high when it comes to financial compliance and accuracy. The margin for error in calculating Research and Development (R&D) credits is slim, and the repercussions of inaccuracies are far too significant to entrust this task to tax algorithms that are proven to fall short half of the time. There also lays a risk of eroding trust with the #IRS, potential audits, and financial penalties. Let’s prioritize accuracy, compliance, and peace of mind by adhering to proven methodologies.

#AI #Tax #R&D Due to complexity of calculating the R&D credit, my recommendation is that businesses should absolutely avoid AI R&D shops. Recently pop up R&D providers are saying they can use AI to shortcut the IRS’ methodologies to quickly perform an R&D credit analysis The IRS recently cited an informal review by the Washington Post which found that AI’s used by two of the leading tax preparation companies provided inaccurate or irrelevant responses up to 50 percent of the time. An IRS Executive expressed “…taxpayers should not rely on AI-generated responses to complex tax questions.” While AI can perform simple repeatable tasks, it still cannot replicate the human judgment required for complex tax issues. The Research and Development Credit is one of the most complex tax issues. Make sure you do it right.
