BLMC provides thorough R&D tax credit audit services, delivering expert defense and consulting for businesses with claims currently being examined. At the federal level, our team competently defends your claims against IRS scrutiny in accordance with IRC Section 41 by validating both your Qualified Research Expenses (QREs) and ensuring compliance with the stringent four-part test. We serve as your main point of contact, managing all Information Document Requests (IDRs) and supplying the necessary technical and financial documentation to demonstrate that your projects utilized hard sciences, aimed to resolve technical uncertainty, and involved genuine experimentation processes. On the state level, BLMC adeptly handles the specific details of Department of Revenue audits, focusing on unique state filing requirements and geographic limitations to ensure that only qualified in-state expenses are claimed. Our comprehensive support spans both federal and state levels, including pre-audit readiness evaluations, direct negotiations with examining agents, and strong representation in appeals. Ultimately, we work to safeguard your financial interests—serving as a bridge between tax regulations and engineering realities to confirm that you conducted the work, incurred the expenses, and adhered strictly to the law.
