Form 6765
Also: Credit for Increasing Research Activities form
The IRS form used to compute and claim the U.S. Credit for Increasing Research Activities.
Form 6765 is filed with the federal return to calculate the Section 41 research credit under the regular or Alternative Simplified Credit method, and to report related elections such as payroll tax credit treatment for qualifying small businesses where available. Supporting workpapers that tie QREs to business components remain essential even though they are not filed with the form.
