Worker Opportunity Tax Credit?

The Worker Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal tax credit that employers can claim for hiring and employing individuals from certain targeted groups who have faced significant barriers to employment¹². These groups include veterans, ex-felons, long-term unemployed, and others¹². 

The WOTC is available for wages paid to eligible individuals who begin work on or before December 31, 2025¹³. To claim the WOTC, employers must pre-screen and obtain certification from the appropriate state agency that the employee is a member of a targeted group¹².
