The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal tax credit program available to employers who hire candidates from target groups. These groups include people who face challenges in finding employment, such as veterans and SNAP (food stamp) recipients. This program allows an employer to receive a reduction in income tax liability of up to $9,600 per approved employee. For-profit and tax-exempt employers of any size may apply, and any type of job qualifies (temporary, seasonal, part time and full time). The WOTC is a one-time tax credit that applies to each qualified new hire, and there is no limit to the number of new hires who can qualify an employer for this tax credit.
