Calculate Your Potential WOTC Tax Credits

Work Opportunity Tax Credit Calculator WOTC

CMS has a calculator on our WOTC website that you can utilize to track your potential Work Opportunity Tax Credits. The calculator estimates your potential credit based on the industry you are in, and the number of new hires you may have.

 

Veterans: How To Obtain a Copy of Your DD214 Form

Hiring Veterans

Qualified Veterans need to provide a copy of their Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty form, known as a DD214.

 

WOTC Wednesday: How Are The WOTC Tax Credits Calculated?

CMS’s Brian Kelly answers your questions about the Work Opportunity Tax Credit in our new weekly video Q&A series #WOTCWednesday.

Other Recent WOTC Questions Answered:

  • Are Salaried/Exempt Employees Eligible for WOTC?
  • Can an employer make the WOTC forms required?
  • Is WOTC Applicable to Seasonal Employees?

 

Understanding WOTC’s Target Groups: Summer Youth Employee

Summer Youth Employee

New hires who fall under one or more of WOTC’s Target Groups may make you eligible for a WOTC Tax Credit. Target Group #6 is the Summer Youth Employee. As the smallest qualifying category for WOTC, just 211 individuals were hired with certification from this group in 2020.

A “qualified summer youth employee” is one who:

  • Is at least 16 years old, but under 18 on the date of hire or on May 1, whichever is later, AND
  • Is only employed between May 1 and September 15 (was not employed prior to May 1) AND
  • Resides in an Empowerment Zone (EZ), enterprise community or renewal community.

 

Work Opportunity Tax Credit Statistics for New York

In 2020 the state of New York issued 68,612 Work Opportunity Tax Credit certifications. Nationwide New York issued 4.23% of all WOTC Tax Credits in 2020. SNAP was New York’s highest tax credit category with 73.9% of certifications for that category.
