The federal government offers various tax credits through bureaus and agencies to support manufacturers.
Department of Treasury
Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit
The Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit was established by the CHIPS Act. The tax credit is equal to 25% of the qualified investment for the taxable year with respect to an advanced manufacturing facility of an eligible taxpayer. Manufacturers of semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment within the United States that meet certain eligibility requirements can claim the credit.
Accelerated depreciation for certain capital assets, including bonus depreciation
Bonus depreciation is a tax incentive that allows a business to immediately deduct a large percentage of the purchase price of eligible assets, such as machinery, rather than write them off evenly over their useful life.
Research Credit
Use Form 6765 to figure and claim the credit for increasing research activities, to elect the reduced credit under section 280C, and to elect to claim a certain amount of the credit as a payroll tax credit against the employer portion of social security taxes.
