Austin, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - August 25, 2025) - Swanson Reed, a leading global R&D tax advisory firm, has announced the launch of its innovative new AI platform, TaxTrex, designed to transform how businesses document, manage, and substantiate their R&D tax credit claims.

TaxTrex is a real-time documentation and compliance platform that leverages artificial intelligence and structured project tracking to claim the R&D tax credit in 90 minutes of AI face-time. This ensures that a business can confidently maximize their R&D tax credits while staying fully compliant with IRS and state requirements.

TaxTrex is an AI-driven R&D tax software grounded in peer-reviewed research, giving it an unmatched level of credibility and academic rigor.

"TaxTrex is the first AI R&D tax credit claim software to be based on peer reviewed research. In most cases, you can complete your documentation requirements in 90 minutes of face-time with the AI," said Damian Smyth, CEO of Swanson Reed. "With TaxTrex, we've created a solution that integrates directly into the R&D lifecycle, helping businesses substantiate claims with accuracy and ease—while reducing audit risk."

What TaxTrex Does:

• Real-Time Documentation Capture - Enables businesses to track technical progress, project updates, and qualifying R&D activities as they occur, building a strong and contemporaneous audit trail.
• AI-Powered Compliance Insights - Uses natural language processing to assess recorded project data against IRS guidelines, flagging weak spots or missing elements that could reduce claim defensibility.
• Structured Project Framework - Guides businesses through three concise surveys designed by R&D tax specialists, aligning their activities with the strict substantiation requirements of U.S. tax law.
• Audit-Ready Reporting - Automatically generates detailed and IRS-compliant documentation packages that can be submitted directly in the event of an audit.
• Seamless Expert Support - Connects users with Swanson Reed's nationwide network of R&D tax professionals for review, analysis, and tailored advice.
