Need Employees? This Tax Credit May Help

October 13, 2025

Tax Tip:


The unemployment rate was 4% in January 2025. The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is available to employers that hire workers from targeted groups who face significant barriers to employment. The credit is generally worth up to $2,400 for each eligible employee. The maximum credit amounts differ for some employees, including certain veterans, long-term family assistance recipients and summer youth workers.


In most cases, eligible employees must begin working for the employer before January 1, 2026. Also, the job applicant and the employer must complete a prescreening notice before a job offer is made.
