Partnerships

Turn the payroll you run
into R&D savings.

You already process the payroll that the R&D payroll credit offsets, and hold the data that supports it. That makes you uniquely positioned to bring your clients a benefit most never hear about.

Why Partner

The offset flows through you already.

The R&D payroll credit is claimed on Form 8974 with the quarterly 941, the exact returns you already file. Partnering with Novaric lets you offer eligible clients up to $500,000 a year in payroll-tax savings, monetized through the payroll platform you already run, while we handle the R&D study and the forms.

How It Works

Behind your brand, or beside you.

PEO and payroll partnerships typically run white-label or referral, we handle the study and forms; you apply the offset through the payroll you already manage.

Your clients. Your relationship. Our specialty.

Common Questions

Questions we hear.

How does the credit reach the client?

Through Form 8974 filed with the quarterly 941, which reduces their employer payroll-tax deposits, we prepare it and coordinate with your platform.

Do we need to understand the R&D rules?

No. We handle qualification and the forms; you handle the payroll application, which you already do every quarter.
