Event Synopsis:

The Obama Administration has been striving to make the Research and Development (R&D) tax credit as a permanent part of the Tax Code. In addition to that, the administration has proposed to expand the credit by about 20%, allocating about $100 billion over the next ten years to leverage additional R&D investment.

There has been a long standing debate about the uncertainty and complexity of this tax credit. Who qualifies? What qualifies?
