The work your team already does, designing, testing, and iterating, likely qualifies for federal and state R&D credits. Onshore's AI-powered studies find it, document it, and a credentialed expert delivers an audit-ready credit in 2 to 3 weeks.
Free assessment · 2-3 week turnaround · Audit support included
R&D isn't just labs and patents. It's the problem your team solved last quarter.
The federal R&D tax credit rewards companies for technical problem solving: new products, better processes, working software. Most of the companies doing that work never claim it, or claim far less than they've earned, because the studies have traditionally taken months of interviews. We built Onshore to fix exactly that.
If your team designs, tests, prototypes, or iterates, you likely qualify. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Link your payroll and project records, or just drop in the documents you already have. Setup takes minutes, not meetings.
Onshore's agents read your activities against the tax code, line by line, and document every qualifying dollar.
A credentialed tax professional reviews every number and delivers an audit-ready study, typically in 2 to 3 weeks.
Traditional R&D studies take months of interviews and spreadsheets. Onshore's AI does the document work, so studies finish in 2 to 3 weeks, audit-ready documentation is built into every file, and audit support is included at no extra cost. 500+ companies have used Onshore to claim more than $600M in tax incentives.
Not every company qualifies, and not every dollar counts. Routine work, aesthetic changes, and market research don't belong in a credit. We tell you what qualifies and what doesn't before you commit, so the number we file is one we can defend.
“After a bad experience with another firm, I had stopped claiming the R&D credit. Onshore made the process simple and transparent, completely changing how we think about credits.”
“Onshore completed our study in about 10 days. The process was efficient, well-organized, and required very little time from our team.”
More than most owners expect. If your team designs, builds, tests, or improves products, processes, or software, that work likely qualifies. It doesn't require a lab, a patent, or a research department. Routine work and aesthetic changes don't count, and we'll tell you which is which.
Read the plain-English guide →It depends on your qualifying wages and expenses, but as a rule of thumb, companies can see up to $65,000 in credits per $1 million in qualifying wages across federal and state programs. A free assessment gives you a real estimate before you commit to anything.
No. You can claim the credit going forward and amend prior-year returns to recover credits you already earned, generally for the last three open tax years. Never having claimed is the most common situation we see.
Every study ships audit-ready, with the documentation attached, and audit support is included at no extra cost, always. If the IRS asks questions, we answer them and stand behind the numbers we filed.
Most studies finish in 2 to 3 weeks from the time we get your records. Traditional firms often take months of interviews for the same work; our AI does the document-gathering so your team doesn't have to.
