Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC)

About WOTC

The WOTC promotes the hiring of individuals who qualify as members of target groups, by providing a federal tax credit incentive of up to $9,600 for employers who hire them.

The WOTC has two purposes:

  • To promote the hiring of individuals who qualify as a member of a target group.
  • To provide a federal tax credit to employers who hire these individuals.

By hiring from our client-base (among other gorups), employers might qualify to take advantage of this tax credit incentive.

The Employment Development Department is the WOTC certifying agency for California employers.
