How do non-developer salaries affect those taxes?

(In 2024, if a company paid salaries for a software developer, a novel writer, and a cook, does each of those 3 positions affect taxes in the same way?)

No, just software devs. Thanks so called "Tax Cuts and Jobs" act.

>>neilv+(OP)
They're unaffected - the law specifically applies to software development:

    (c) Special rules.
    (3) Software development. For purposes of this section, any amount paid or incurred in connection with the development of any software shall be treated as a research or experimental expenditure.

(c.1 and c.2 are the opposite - carveouts for land acquisition and fossil fuel and mining exploration)
