Tax credits range from $1,200 to $9,600 per eligible new hire.

WOTC represents a permanent reduction in income tax, directly reducing a business’s effective tax liability.
In order to capture these credits, a business needs to apply within the first 28 days of a new employee’s start date, which makes WOTC credits often a function of a company’s HR department, rather than an accounting department.
