Massachusetts and the R&D Tax Credit
The indefinite Massachusetts Research Credit is available to eligible corporations and flow-through entities, closely mirroring the federal tax credit framework. It equals 15% of basic research payments plus 10% of qualified research expenses (QREs). If a taxpayer lacked QREs in the preceding three years, the credit simply becomes 5% of current-year QREs. This credit offsets 100% of the first $25,000 of corporate excise tax liability and 75% of any excess, but it cannot reduce the total tax below $456. Credits restricted by the 75% limitation carry forward indefinitely, while other unused credits are subject to a standard fifteen-year carryforward period.
