Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi @David0101 The tax or book treatment of R&D is likely going to be something you'll want to discuss with either your tax preparer or bookkeeper. I'm assuming this is for a C-Corporation? 

Unfortunately TurboTax does not offer tax advice for C Corps. As a general rule however, salaries are a normal expense for a business. 

Thanks so much!
