As 2025 comes to a close, major federal and state changes (signed this past summer 2025) could mean real money back for your firm, with important upcoming deadlines to know in 2026.

This session focuses on two powerful incentives that architecture and engineering firms in Pennsylvania and New Jersey may qualify for:

• Section 41 R&D Tax Credit & impact with 174 Amortization requirements
• 179D Energy Efficient Commercial Building Deduction

What’s new?

• Recent federal legislation (OBBBA) allows full expensing of R&D costs again.
• 179D now has a firm expiration date—your window to claim is closing soon.  
• Pennsylvania’s R&D Credit is saleable, creating additional liquidity opportunities for firms that can’t use the credit directly.

Whether you focus on Architecture, MEP or structural design, specialize in sustainable buildings or tackle technical challenges, these incentives can significantly impact your cash flow and help you reinvest into your business.

Join us to learn how to:

• Unlock hidden value in the work you’re already doing this year and the previous 3 years.
• Revisit past projects for potential refunds
• Coordinate with your CPA now to maximize benefits before December 31
• Explore how PA’s saleable R&D credit can turn unused credits into cash

This isn’t a tax lecture—it’s a year-end playbook for turning innovation into dollars.

Speakers : Samuel Koch & Michael Nobile
