Work-to-Hire Tax Credit Service

If your company hires employees, then your company most likely has qualifying Federal and/or State tax credits.  Are you taking advantage of all available Federal and State tax credits?  Most companies ARE NOT---in fact, the Government Accounting Office (GAO) estimates that only 1% of businesses take advantage of the $ 22 billion appropriated for tax incentives.  On the average, at least 15% of all employees are eligible for a Federal or State tax incentive that could range from $1,500 to $8,500 per employee.
