MAXIMUS Makes WOTC Credits Easy for Employers

When it comes to helping employers realize their true tax credit potential, MAXIMUS is both pioneering and progressive. Our extensive history in providing premier tax credit services dates back to 1978, when we began helping companies process their new hires through the Targeted Jobs Tax Credit (TJTC) Program. In 1996, we helped the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Department of Labor successfully develop the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) Program, which replaced the TJTC Program.

What is WOTC?

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit is a federal hiring incentive for companies that employ individuals from the following specific target populations:

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients

Veterans

Ex-felons

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients

High-risk youth

Summer youth

Food stamp recipients

Vocational rehabilitation referrals

We Help You Capture Eligible WOTC Credits and Save Money

Each year, millions of dollars in tax credits go unclaimed – even though employers are hiring workers every day from the target groups designated by the WOTC Program.

Through our pre-employment screening process, MAXIMUS ensures employers fully capture the WOTC credits for which they are eligible—ranging from one-time credits of up to $2,400 to two-year credits of up to $9,000 per qualified individual.

Use our WOTC Calculator to estimate the WOTC credits you could earn based on your annual hiring practices.

Our tax credit practices are governed by the following principles:

Client satisfaction is our primary objective

Tax credit maximization is our ultimate goal

State-of- the-art technology and customizable management methods are always employed

Client confidentiality is always protected
