Work Opportunity Tax Credits (WOTC)

Employer tax credits are an important part of the diverse strategies designed to help people gain onthe-job experience and acquire better employment. The WOTC program offers federal tax credits to employers as an incentive to hire people in several specific target groups.

WHO IS HELPED BY WOTC?

WOTC helps both employers and targeted job seekers. Employers save as tax credits help defray payroll expenses. Job seekers qualifying as a member of one of the targeted groups gain an advantage in the job market
