Work Opportunity Tax Credit Software
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit, or WOTC, is a Federal tax credit created by the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 and the Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit of 1996. This credit is available to employers who hire and retain from target groups. Employers claim about $1 billion in tax credits each year under the WOTC program.
