AI Summary

This bill, the American Innovation and Jobs Act, aims to enhance tax benefits for research activities. The key provisions are: 1. Restoring immediate expensing for research and development investments, allowing taxpayers to deduct research or experimental expenditures as expenses in the year they are incurred, rather than amortizing them over several years. 2. Expanding the refundable research credit for new and small businesses by increasing the cap on the refundable credit, extending the eligibility period, and expanding the gross receipts test to allow more businesses to qualify. 3. Increasing access to the research credit for startups by applying a higher credit rate and providing alternative calculation methods to determine the credit. These changes are intended to encourage and support research and development activities, particularly for new and small businesses, as a way to spur innovation and job creation in the United States.
