1. Work Opportunity Tax Credit
Work Opportunity Tax Credits are intended to help people from specific target groups
gain the work skills necessary for obtaining and retaining a quality job through on-the-job
experience. This not only benefits employers, but also increases economic growth and
employee productivity.
What is the Work Opportunity Tax Credit?
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit is available to employers for new hires from specific
target groups who have employment barriers.
• Easy application process.
• Full-time, part-time and temporary employees make your business eligible for the
tax credit.
• Employees must not have been previously employed by employer.
The consolidated Work Opportunity Tax Credit for hiring most target group
members can be as much as:
• $2,400 for each new adult hire.
• $9,000 for each new long-term family assistance recipient hired over a two-year
period.
Target Groups
• A member of a family that is receiving or recently received Temporary Assistance
to Needy Families for at least 18 consecutive months ending on the hiring date.
• A member of a family that is receiving or recently received Temporary Assistance
to Needy Families benefits for any 9-month period during the 18-month period
ending on the hiring date.
• An 18-39 year old member of a family that is receiving or recently received food
stamps.
• A veteran who is a member of a family that is receiving or recently received food
stamps.
• A Vocational Rehabilitation referral who completed or is completing rehabilitative
services from a state certified agency, an employment network, or the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs.
• An ex-felon who has a hiring date which is not more than one year after the last
date she/he was convicted or released from prison; and/or
• A recipient of Supplemental Security Income benefits.
2. How Do Employers Apply for the Tax Credit?
• Include the front page of IRS form 8850, Work Opportunity Credit Pre-Screening
Notice and Certification Request, in the employee job application packet so the
applicant can indicate if he/she might be a candidate for the credit.
• Interview the job applicant using his/her statements as a screening tool for tax
credit eligibility prior to making a job offer.
• Complete the back page of Form 8850 along with IRS Form 9061, Individual
Characteristic Form. Make sure the forms are completely filled out and submit the
entire package to the Work Opportunity Tax Credit Coordinator at the Idaho
Department of Labor (see address below).
These documents must be mailed and/or post-marked no later than the 28th calendar
day after the employee’s first day of work.
