Why Don’t More Businesses Take Advantage of WOTC?
In our experience, there are two reasons employers don’t claim their WOTC benefits: either they don’t know about the program or they don’t think it’s worth it. The Work Opportunity Tax Credit is a federal tax credit created in 1996 to help drive employment by putting disadvantaged workers back to work.
WOTC benefits are available to employers who hire individuals from one of nine targeted groups who frequently face barriers to employment. The amount of WOTC credit an employer receives is based on the amount eligible employees earn. So, there’s paperwork that has to be completed every month to screen applicants and report wages. We’ve seen countless businesses miss out on huge tax credits, simply because they don’t have the time or manpower to manage their WOTC program.
But here’s the thing:
Each WOTC-qualified employee can increase profitability by as much as 80% compared to a non-qualified employee. And with Rockerbox, it can take as little as 15 minutes per month to reduce or even eliminate your Federal tax liability – without spending hours on paperwork. WOTC is currently authorized until December 31, 2025, so why not take advantage of this program now?
