I have a client that is claiming an R&D credit for 2017. After carrying back the excess credit to 2016 he will have an unused amount of about $15k. I know there is the option to apply it to FICA taxes but I am unclear how to do that. I see that a 41h election must be made. I do not have that election option in my software and looked in my tax research software and can not seem to find the election language.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
