Build and review benefit models - quantify federal, state, and local credit and incentive value, including after-tax value, basis reduction, and recapture exposure.
Support state and local incentive work - site-selection comparisons, negotiated incentive modeling, and post-award compliance tracking against hiring, wage, and investment commitments.
Prepare and review credit filings and workpapers - and help support filed positions under IRS or state examination.
Research technical positions - and help translate new guidance into practical engagement steps.
Contribute across Specialty Tax - support R&D tax credit engagements alongside the R&D Tax Credit Services team, building breadth beyond energy and state incentives.
