Maximize hiring credits with IRS-compliant WOTC filing
What is the Work Opportunity Tax Credit?
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal incentive that rewards employers for hiring individuals from certain targeted groups who face barriers to employment. Depending on eligibility and hours worked, your business can receive up to $9,600 per qualified hire.
