To follow-up on the comments from @KristinaK, you do have to reduce your expenses by the amount of the credit. Without reducing expenses, a taxpayer would get the benefit of the R & D credit and also the expense deduction. Accordingly, the IRS requires that Form 1120 reflect a reduction in expenses.
