U.S. WORKPLACE OPPORTUNITY TAX CREDIT

Category: Federal

This is a federal income tax benefit administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, for private, for profit employers who hire from target populations.  The US Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) reduces a business’ federal tax liability, serving as an incentive to select job candidates who may be somewhat disadvantaged in their efforts to find employment.  Hiring from a select group of qualified job seekers can mean direct federal tax savings to your business ranging from $1,200 to $9,600 per qualifying employee.
