Do you actually need software salaries to be treated as R&D vs a more regular salary expense? (I'm not an accountant so I'm not even sure I'm using proper terminology) I understand there maybe be other non-salary sw-dev expenses too...

Does an R&D classification give different tax accounting options at least for the salary part?

That's my big question here. If I don't claim an r&d tax credit, does the salary still get treated as r&d?
