The Work Opportunity Tax Credit or WOTC program is an incentive program and provides businesses with a federal income tax credit to hire individual from targeted groups that have a particularly high unemployment rate or other special employment needs. Your business does not have to be in an empowerment zone, enterprise community, or renewal community to qualify for this credit. The WOTC credit is calculated on “qualified first-year wages” and has a maximum credit of $2,400 per eligible employee. (For more information: IRS Publication 954) The Welfare-to-Work tax credit program rewards employers with an incentive to hire long-term family assistance recipients. It works in combination with the WOTC program and the credit is based upon the “qualified wages” during the first two years of employment. The program has a maximum credit potential of $9,000 for two years per eligible employee.
