🚨 Tens of Billions at Risk for SMBs – Congress Must Act NOW 🚨 The U.S. prides itself on being a leader in innovation, yet recent tax policy changes have crippled small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs)—the backbone of our technological and economic growth. In his Fortune article, alliant’s Rick Lazio outlines the devastating impact of Congress’s failure to restore immediate R&D expensing. The stakes couldn’t be higher. We’ve seen firsthand the consequences for businesses across industries: 🔹 A family farm hit with an unexpected $180K tax bill—funds they don’t have. 🔹 A small steel company’s tax burden skyrocketing from $35K to $1.3M, forcing them to halt hiring. 🔹 A growing tech firm forced to lay off newly-trained engineers, losing ground to global competitors. The Fix Exists—But Congress Must Act Bipartisan legislation H.R. 1990 provides a retroactive R&D expensing fix for 2022-2024, injecting billions back into the economy. This must be included in the current legislative package before it’s too late! Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gfbMQFSJ ❗The window for action is closing.
