The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal tax credit designed to incentivize employers to hire employees from certain target groups who have faced significant barriers to employment, such as veterans, individuals on public assistance, and ex-felons.
The “WOTC” credit is available to eligible employers who hire individuals from these target groups and who meet certain requirements.
The amount of the credit is based on a percentage of the first-year wages paid to the eligible employee, with a maximum credit available per qualifying employee of around $2,400. This varies by target group.
