Your business may potentially earn up to 50% of the employee's wages for a maximum credit of $8,500.

State and Local Credits
There are more than 500 state and local credits available, many triggered by hiring qualified candidates or the expansion of facilities or equipment. 

Empowerment Zone and Renewal Community Credits
If your business is located in a Federal Empowerment Zone and / or Renewal Community, and you employ individuals living in the same area, you may earn credit against your federal tax liability; up to $3,000 per qualified employee.

Training Grants and Incentives
Training grant programs help subsidize the eligible costs of training new and existing employees. The federal government also provides funds for job placement and training assistance through local agencies, benefiting both employers and employees.

Job Creation Credits
These credits exist to attract new employers to an area and typically focus on identifiable plans for future growth.

Sales and Use Taxes

Sales and Use taxes directly impact your company’s bottom line and earnings per share. In fact, most companies are actually overpaying various taxing jurisdictions. We can help you proactively manage your sales and use tax strategy to help your company potentially save money, reduce audit risk and focus internal resources on your core business functions.
