Course Description
You are leaving money on the table-Business growth in 2026 requires more than just innovation—it requires a coordinated strategy. We will provide a comprehensive roadmap for Georgia small businesses to navigate the federal R&D landscape, including the critical shift back to immediate expensing. Beyond federal credits, we dive into specific Georgia state incentives and the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), showing you how current hiring trends can be turned into significant bottom-line savings. From compliance best practices to identifying qualifying activities, you will learn how to layer these incentives to maximize cash flow and minimize risk in an evolving regulatory environment.
