As an accountant I have had to shoot attempts at claiming this credit down time and time again. Unless you are doing cutting edge/novel research into AI, machine learning, quantum computing, etc you will not qualify for the credit. Think about it this way, unless your research is something you could write a scientific paper on and have it published in a peer reviewed journal, it will not qualify.
Also, this is not a new R&D tax credit, it was extended, again, for the umpteenth time. There were slight changes made in addition to the extension, but they did not change what qualifies as qualified research.
