The federal government wants people re-employed. There are several tax credits available from the federal government that your business can utilize.
Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) - An employer may qualify for a tax credit of up to $9,000 per employee if the employee is a member of a designated target group and meets that group's specific requirements. Application must be completed and submitted within 28 days of hire.
New Hire Retention Tax Credit - This tax credit encourages the retention of new hires (retained workers). The employer may claim the credit for each retained worker. $1,000 or 6.2% of wages (as defined for income tax withholding purposes) paid by the employer to the retained worker during the 52 consecutive week period.
Small Business Health Care Tax Credit - This tax credit is worth up to 35% of a small business' premium costs (25% for tax-exempt employers). On Jan. 1, 2014, this rate increases to 50 percent (35 percent for tax-exempt employers). It makes it more affordable for employers with low and moderate income workers afford to offer health insurance coverage to employees.
