Work Opportunity Tax Credit Transition Relief

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has recently granted transition relief for employers to retroactively file a Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) for employees hired in 2015 when the program was dormant.

The deadline to screen these employees for WOTC eligibility is Friday, June 17, 2016. You can find more information on the IRS website. 

Please note: this is a one-time opportunity since the program has been extended through December 31, 2019. Going forward, it is imperative that offices conduct screening for WOTC as new hires go through the interview process.
