Work Opportunity Tax Credit Just Got Better!
Because Marshall County qualifies for the new Rural Renewal County Program, Employers can now hire anyone 18-39 and get WOTC tax credits! That means $2,400 dollars off your taxes (or more) for your year one of hiring a more youthful demographic. (No limit to the number of hires!) You have to file within 28 of hiring, and then when approved, fill out 2 Forms. MCP4G will get any other needed information, but this covers some questions you may have. See below.
WOTC Brochure and Explanation
We have these forms mentioned in the brochure if you want to get them from us as well.
