To resolve to "YES," legislation or regulatory guidance must be enacted or clarified that allows businesses to fully expense software engineer salaries related to research and experimental (R&E) activities in the same year they are incurred, rather than amortizing these expenses over a five-year period. This change would mean that SWE salaries tied to R&D projects can be immediately deducted from taxable income, restoring the pre-2022 treatment under Section 174 before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) imposed amortization requirements.
The revision does not have to apply to the 2025 tax year.
