The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal tax credit designed to encourage employers to hire individuals from certain disadvantaged groups including veterans, and those receiving government assistance.
This credit provides a great opportunity to support individuals in need while simultaneously reducing their overall tax burden.
With COVID and Previous Levels of Unemployment More and More Job Candidates Qualify for WOTC.
