HIRING TAX CREDITS/PAYROLL TAX CREDITS

WOTC is a great program for almost every employer. WOTC stands for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit and is not one but several tax credits given to employers at a Federal level for hiring qualified employees. Annually employers claim over $1 billion in tax credits under this program. There is no limit on the number of individuals an employer can hire to qualify to claim the tax credit. 

WOTC allows employers to claim a credit against their federal income tax liabilities for qualified employees. WOTC can also be used to offset AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax). Employers generally can earn a tax credit equal to 25% or 40% of a new employee’s first-year wages, up to the maximum for the target group to which the employee belongs. Employers will earn 25% if the employee works at least 120 hours and 40% if the employee works at least 400 hours.

The average benefit per employee is $2,400.00 and can be as much as $9600! 

That means potentially 10 qualified employees could yield a federal income tax credit between $24K – $96K. Additionally, WOTC credits may be carried back one year and carried forward 20 years.

Simply put, the WOTC reduces an employer’s cost of doing business and turns Human Resources into a profit center. We manage the program for you.

The COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TAX  benefit is a Federal program designed for business owners who own commercial properties, or have performed significant lease hold improvements. This program traces it’s roots as far back as the Tax Reform of 1986, but went through significant changes in 2004 making it more accessible for small and midsize property owners to take advantage of. The most recent changes appeared as late as February 2009 in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. This is an engineered based program that focuses on the components of the building. All work is performed offsite and has no impact on normal operations. 

The good news is 90% of all commercial properties qualify for this program! 

Commercial Property Benefit provides an opportunity to significantly reduce federal taxes and improve case flow. Our "Average" credit recovered is $189,000.
