What is WOTC?

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal tax incentive designed by Congress to encourage employers to hire individuals who have historically encountered substantial barriers to employment. The primary goal of this initiative is to assist these targeted employees in transitioning from economic reliance to self-sufficiency. In return, participating employers benefit by receiving a federal tax credit.

How long is this government program good for?
As of now, the Work Opportunity Tax Credit program is in effect till December 31st, 2025, but we anticipate legislation to be passed which could extend the program for years to come.
What is the amount of the credit available through WOTC?
The amount of the tax credit varies by target group from $2,400 to $9,600.
Calculating the WOTC Tax Credit
The tax credit amount under the WOTC program depends on employee retention. For most target groups, WOTC is based on qualified wages paid to the employee for the first year of employment
What is the minimum length of employment to claim credits?
The amount of Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) that an employer can claim is contingent upon the number of hours worked by the employee. New hires are required to complete a minimum of either 120 or 400 hours of work.
Can I carry forward tax credits not used?
