  • WOTC offers significant incentives to businesses who hire employees from specific target groups, such as veterans, ex-felons, or long-term unemployed individuals. By participating in the WOTC program, businesses can reduce their federal tax liability, lower hiring costs, and contribute to workforce diversity and inclusion initiatives. It is aimed at supporting business growth and facilitating employment opportunities for individuals facing barriers to entry.

  • The FICA Tip Credit is a tax benefit specifically designed to lighten the financial load for food or beverage service companies that employ tipped workers.
