“We came to Black Line Group (BLG) at the recommendation of our CPA firm for consultation on Research & Development tax credits. As a machine shop, we were not even sure we qualified for the credits. BLG personnel demonstrated outstanding knowledge of not only the R&D Credit but how it specifically applies to our industry. BLG walked us through the process of preparing to amend the previous three years tax returns and the current year’s return saving us hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes. They prepared amazing back-up documentation for the credits. We were completely satisfied with the level of BLG’s performance on the project and we will use them each year going forward. They are fully committed to the interests of their customers and their team is enthusiastic and positive. It was a real pleasure to work with them, from both a human and professional point of view”Our company has worked with Black Line Group and filed for an R&D Tax Credit since the 2010 tax year. We had filed for this credit in the past, but got away from using it for several years until engaging Black Line Group. It is a detailed process that Black Line Group has a great deal of experience in, and not something we would have been successful in doing ourselves. We know and hear from other NTMA members that there has been a lot of concern regarding audits by the IRS in regards to companies that file for this credit. In most of the instances of audit, it was a result of trying to go back and amend prior year returns. In our case we chose not to go back and amend, but to simply claim credits for the current tax year and beyond. For our company, the benefits have been extremely meaningful! We have been very pleased with the ease of the process that Black Line Group has provided. They did all the background work with minimal interruption to our people. This is a viable and legal way to help reduce your R&D costs and improve your bottom line.”
