Montana and the R&D Tax Credit
Montana currently does not offer a state-level Research and Development tax credit, as its previous program was officially discontinued in 2010. However, businesses innovating within the state still have strong financial incentives available. Montana companies remain fully eligible to claim the federal R&D tax credit for developing new products, processes, or software. Notably, qualified startups generating under $5 million in gross receipts can apply this federal credit to offset up to $500,000 in payroll taxes annually. Additionally, the state supports local innovation through the Montana Department of Commerce, providing valuable SBIR/STTR matching funds to technology companies pursuing federal research grants.
