CPAs are expected to have a general and broad knowledge of tax. This allows them to tackle the hundreds of possible situations that they deal with on a daily basis for their clients. Because the R&D tax credit, unlike other tax incentives, requires deep experience and interpretation of code sections that are not always clearly defined, it is not uncommon for CPAs to recommend consulting services or calculation platforms like GOAT.tax, to handle the R&D credit while they handle everything else.
