Frequently Asked Questions

What is Section 174 and why does it matter?

Section 174 of the US tax code now requires companies to capitalize and amortize software R&D expenses over 5 years (domestic) or 15 years (foreign) instead of deducting them immediately. Non-compliance can trigger IRS penalties and costly audits.

Which accounting systems do you integrate with?

We support QuickBooks Online, Xero, and CSV/Excel imports. More integrations are added regularly based on customer demand.
