Hiring Tax Credits
There are many tax credits at both the federal and state levels that relate to hiring. Some hiring credits, for example the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit, are available for hiring qualifying employees. Companies can qualify to claim these credits even if they are not increasing employment, because these credits are based on the attributes of new employees, regardless of whether the employees are filling new positions or are hired due to turnover.
There are also hiring credits (often called job credits) offered by many states that require an overall increase in employment. These credits often do not relate to the attributes of individual new hires. Instead, they are generally based on the change on overall qualifying employment in the particular state or at a particular location. In many cases, these credits are available to particular industries, and on some cases these credits are available on a retroactive basis.
