R&D Tax Credits for Mortgage Banking

The mortgage banking industry's reliance on software development has steadily grown in recent years. Fragmented platforms and services crucial for loan processes have driven many companies to develop custom solutions. This trend has positioned the R&D tax credit as a significant tool for tax planning within the industry.

This tax incentive allows companies to recoup substantial amounts, potentially reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars, on existing expenses. Consequently, the R&D tax credit not only encourages innovation but also serves as a valuable financial strategy for mortgage and banking institutions.

This included everything from initial high-level architecture design to active development cycles, often referred to as “sprints.” The company also engaged in rigorous validation processes, involving multiple departments to run newly developed modules through comprehensive testing phases. These activities were pivotal in refining the software and fell under the category of R&D as they led to technological advancements in the mortgage banking industry.
