You May Already Be Eligible for Thousands in Federal Tax Credits
Many child care providers are missing out on significant federal tax credits - not because they're not doing the right things, but because they’re unaware of the credits’ existence.
If you've hired veterans, individuals receiving SNAP benefits, ex-felons, or people from other eligible groups, you may qualify for up to $9,600 credit per hire through the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), a federal tax incentive.
The Hidden Money Problem
Providers across the country are hiring from eligible groups as part of their normal operations, often without realizing they could qualify for a federal tax credit in the process. The WOTC has been available for years, but its perceived complexity has kept most small businesses from accessing it. The process for claiming the credit is relatively straightforward and worthwhile.
Part of Our Comprehensive Launch
This WOTC Calculator represents the second tool in our series of free business applications. Like our recently released Tax Self-Assessment App, it reflects our evolution from team-based expertise to certifying others and now leveraging technology for universal access.
Together, these tools address the most immediate opportunities to put money back into provider hands: identifying missed tax savings and claiming credits for hiring decisions you've already made.
The AI-powered WOTC Calculator
Our new tool asks simple questions about your hiring practices and employees and immediately tells you if your existing or future hires qualify for credits. No complex paperwork upfront - just clear answers about money you may have already earned and next steps.
The calculator helps you discover:
Which of your current hires qualify for credits
