“I cancelled my accountants mid-project, paid them for their time, and started fresh with ClaimKit. It was still cheaper and faster than letting them finish.”
“The R&D evidence finding was excellent. This addressed a massive pain point for us, and the ROI was very very good. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Enjoyed every bit of using this, it is happy to work with raw data and we didn't need to write the report ourselves. It saved a lot of time compared to traditional consultants.”
“Efficient, effective with an emphasis on details.”
What you can claim
Much more than engineering salaries, with state credits on top of federal.

Prototype Materials and Supplies
Parts and materials consumed in R&D, reviewed invoice by invoice.
Contract R&D and Test Labs
65% of what you pay US contractors and labs.
Cloud and Simulation Computing
Compute for simulation, modeling and testing. AI tokens and infrastructure costs count too.
State R&D Credits
