In a landmark move for U.S. innovation, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB)—signed into law on July 4, 2025—restored immediate deductions for domestic R&D expenditures, reversing a key provision of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This first session in our 3-part series unpacks what this means for businesses and how to take advantage of the new rules.
Join Mark Dunning, partner at TaxOps, as he explores the new Section 174A, return to immediate expensing, and foreign R&D rules. We’ll also cover election flexibility, retroactive relief for small businesses, and accelerated deductions. We’ll also discuss what’s next from the IRS and how to prepare for upcoming guidance. Whether you're a tax practitioner or in-house, this session will help you navigate the new R&D tax landscape with confidence.
