Representatives Ron Estes (R-KS) and John Larson (D-CT) have reintroduced the American Innovation and R&D Competitiveness Act (H.R. 1990), legislation that will repeal the five-year R&D amortization requirement and restore full deductibility of these expenses. ACEC member action is needed to build support for the bill.
Congress is working on legislation this year to extend critical elements of the 2017 tax law, and leaders of the House and Senate tax-writing committees have expressed support for restoring the deductibility of R&D expenses as part of this effort. ACEC is working closely with Representatives Estes and Larson to build support for H.R. 1990, which will help us make a strong case for including this critical reform in the larger tax package. AIA is also monitoring this Bill, and will be sharing their own call to action soon.
