General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Eligible Small Business (For Purposes of
Offsetting AMT Only)
Use Form 6765 to figure and claim the credit for increasing
research activities, to elect the reduced credit under section
280C, and to elect to claim a certain amount of the credit as a
payroll tax credit against the employer portion of social
security taxes.
Partnerships and S corporations must file this form to
claim the credit. All others are generally not required to
complete or file this form if their only source for this credit is a
partnership, S corporation, estate, or trust. Instead, they can
report this credit directly on Form 3800, General Business
Credit. The following exception applies: You are a taxpayer
that is an estate or trust and the credit can be allocated to
beneficiaries. For more details, see the instructions for
Schedule K-1 (Form 1041), box 13.
An eligible small business is:
A corporation whose stock isn’t publicly traded,
A partnership, or
•
•
•
A sole proprietorship.
The average annual gross receipts of the corporation,
partnership, or sole proprietorship for the 3-tax-year period
preceding the tax year of the credit can’t exceed $50 million.
Gross receipts for any tax year must be reduced by returns
and allowances made during the year. Any reference to your
business also includes a reference to any predecessor of
your business. If your business wasn’t in existence for the
entire 3-year period, base your average annual gross receipts
on the period your business existed. Also, if your business
had a tax year of less than 12 months, your gross receipts
must be annualized by multiplying the gross receipts for the
short period by 12 and dividing the result by the number of
months in the short period.
Note. Corporations filing an amended return to claim a credit
or refund of the research credit, see Notice 2008-39, 2008-13

Definitions
Qualified Research
The research credit is generally allowed for expenses paid or
incurred for qualified research. Qualified research means
research for which expenses may be treated as section 174
expenses. This research must be undertaken for discovering
Note. Gross receipts must meet the definition under section
448(c)(2) and (3) and Regulations section 1.448-1T(f)(2)(iv).
Member of controlled group, business under common
control, or affiliated group. For purposes of the gross
receipts test, all members of a controlled group of
corporations (as defined in section 52(a)) and all members of
a group of businesses under common control (as defined in
Jan 16, 2024
Cat. No. 13701S
section 52(b)) are treated as a single person; and all
employees of the members of an affiliated service group (as
defined in sections 414(m) and (o)) shall be treated as
employed by a single person.
the first quarter that begins after it files the return reflecting
the payroll tax election. See Notice 2017-23 for more
information. A qualified small business claiming the payroll
tax credit on its employment tax return must complete Form
8974 and attach the completed form to the employment tax
return.

shareholders. A partner or S corporation shareholder can’t
be treated as an eligible small business unless both the
partnership or S corporation and the partner or S corporation
shareholder meet the gross receipts test as discussed under
Eligible Small Business, earlier, for the tax year that the credit
is treated as a current year general business credit.
Special Rules
See section 41(f) and 1.41-7 for special rules related to:

A qualified small business is a corporation (including an S
corporation) or partnership with:
For special rules concerning the allocation and
apportionment of research and experimental expenses
between U.S. and foreign source income, see sections 861
through 864.
1. Gross receipts of less than $5 million for the tax year,
and
2. No gross receipts for any tax year before the 5-tax-year
period ending with the tax year.
Member of Controlled Group of
Corporations or Group of Trades or
Businesses Under Common Control
(Controlled Group)
Any other person may be considered a qualified small
business if the person meets the requirements of (1) and (2)
above, taking into account the aggregate gross receipts
received in all the trades or businesses.
The term “gross receipts” for purposes of determining
whether your business is a qualified small business means
gross receipts as determined under section 448(c)(3)
(without regard to subparagraph (A) thereof) and Regulations
sections 1.448-1T(f)(2)(iii) and (iv). The definition of gross
receipts under section 41(c)(6) and Regulations section
1.41-3(c) doesn’t apply for this purpose. Any reference to
your trade or business also includes a reference to any
predecessor of your trade or business. Also, if your trade or
business had a tax year of less than 12 months, your gross
receipts must be annualized by multiplying the gross receipts
for the short period by 12 and dividing the result by the
number of months in the short period.
For purposes of figuring the credit, all members of a
controlled group of corporations (as defined in section 41(f)
(1)(A) and (f)(5)) and all members of a group of trades or
businesses under common control (as defined in section
41(f)(1)(B) and Regulations section 1.41-6(a)(3)(ii)) are
treated as a single taxpayer. Use Section A or B to figure the
credit for the entire group. As a member, your credit is
determined on a proportionate basis to your share of the
aggregate qualified research expenses for increasing
research activities taken into account by the group for the
research credit. Enter your share of the credit on line 17 or
line 34, whichever applies. Attach a statement showing how
your share of the credit was figured, the name and employer
identification numbers or taxpayer identification numbers of
the other members of the group, and the designated
member. Write “See Attached” next to the entry space for
line 17 or line 34.
A qualified small business doesn’t include a tax-exempt
organization under section 501.
Payroll Tax Credit Election
The payroll tax credit election is an annual election made by
a qualified small business specifying the amount of research
credit, not to exceed $500,000, that may be used against the
employer portion of social security liability. The credit is the
smallest of the current year research credit, an elected
amount not to exceed $500,000, or the general business
credit carryforward for the tax year (before the application of
the payroll tax credit election for the tax year). The general
business credit carryforward limitation doesn’t apply to
partnerships or S corporations. The election must be made
on or before the due date of the originally filed income tax
return (including extensions). An election can’t be made for a
tax year if an election was made for 5 or more preceding tax
years. The election made by a partnership or S corporation is
made at the entity level. Any election to take the payroll tax
credit may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. For
more information about the payroll tax credit, see Notice
2017-23, 2017-16 I.R.B. 1100, available at IRS.gov/irb/
If a member of a controlled group has filed its return using
a method different from that of the designated member, then
that member should file an amended return to conform to the
designated member's method.
A member of a controlled group can’t make an alternative
simplified credit (ASC) election in a tax year on an amended
return if any member of the controlled group for that tax year
previously claimed the research credit using a method other
than the ASC on an original or amended return for that year.
For additional rules regarding the election (or revocation of
the election) of the ASC in Section B by a controlled group of
corporations, see Regulations section 1.41-9.
For purposes of the reduced credit election, a member of
a controlled group may make the election under section
280C(c)(3). However, only the common parent (within the
meaning of Regulations section 1.1502-77(a)(1)(i)) of a
consolidated group may make the election on behalf of the
members of a consolidated group.
Claiming the credit on employment tax return. A
qualified small business that elects to claim the payroll tax
credit will claim the payroll tax credit against the employer’s
portion of social security tax on its employment tax return for
For purposes of the payroll tax credit election, all members
of the same controlled group are treated as a single taxpayer.
Thus, the aggregate gross receipts of all members of such a
2
Instructions for Form 6765 (January 2024)
group must be taken into account in determining whether a
business is a qualified small business. See Qualified Small
Business, earlier. In addition, a member of such a group may
not make a payroll tax credit election if the member (or any
other member of the member’s group) has made a payroll tax
credit election for 5 or more preceding tax years.
Line 2
Enter the amounts the corporation (not to include S
corporations, personal holding companies, and service
organizations) paid in cash, under a written contract, for basic
research to a qualified university, scientific research
organization, scientific tax-exempt organization, or grant
organization. See section 41(e) for details, including the
definitions of qualified organizations.
Each member of a controlled group separately makes the
payroll tax credit election. The amount that each member of
the group can separately elect is limited to the least of (a) the
electing member’s allocable share of the group credit
(determined under the rules discussed above); (b) the
electing member’s allocable share of the $500,000 amount;
or (c) in the case of an electing member other than a
partnership or S corporation, the amount of the electing
member’s business credit carryforward under section 39
carried from the tax year (determined before the application
of the payroll tax credit election for the tax year). The
$500,000 amount is allocated to each member of the group,
regardless of whether all members of the group make the
payroll tax credit election, on a proportionate basis to each
member’s share of the aggregate of the qualified research
expenses taken into account for the tax year by the group for
purposes of the credit.
Line 3
Enter the qualified organization base period amount based
on minimum basic research amounts plus
maintenance-of-effort amounts for the 3 preceding tax years.
See section 41(e) for details.

corporations or businesses under common control) received
or accrued for the right to use substantially identical property.

The fixed-base percentage for an existing company (any
company that isn’t a start-up company) is figured by dividing
the aggregate qualified research expenses for the tax years
beginning after 1983 and before 1989 by the aggregate gross
receipts for those tax years.
The fixed-base percentage for all companies (existing and
start-up) must be rounded to the nearest 1/100th of 1% (that
is, four decimal places) and can’t exceed 16%. In addition,
when figuring your fixed-base percentage, you must reflect
