The Work
Opportunity Tax Credit Program, or WOTC, gives employers a
federal income tax credit for employing personnel from specific target
groups. Mckenzie Chase Management provides consulting and
administrative support to help businesses capture these employer tax
credits.
WOTC Timeline:
- WOTC Program was created by the
Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996.
- The
Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit (W2W) was created by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997.
- The
WOTC & the W2W continued as separate tax credits until Dec. 2006
when Public Law 109-432 repealed Sec. 51A of the IInternal Revenue Code
by merging the W2W into the WOTC
Program as another target group.
