Tax Credits for Everyone

Credits Eligibility

Credits vs Deductions

Work Opportunity Tax Credit

Employee Retention Credit

Credits Eligibility

Tax credits are entitlement subsidies: explicit amounts of money, measured dollar-per-dollar, that eligible companies can subtract from their total taxes owed. While criteria and eligibility range by state and industry, common credits are awarded based on overall earnings, size of payroll, employee backgrounds, geographic location, and more. Solving the complicated process, CAVU’s Tax Claim service researches applies and recoups tax credit claims your organization is eligible for.

Credits vs Deductions

Credits vs Deductions Tax Credits reduce the amount of total taxes owed, while deductions lower the amount of taxable income for the year. Similar in concept, the two differ in practice. For example:

A $1,500 tax credit would lower a company’s tax burden by $1,500 - if a company’s taxes were initially $5,000, tax credits would reduce the total to $3,500.
A $1,500 tax deduction lowers the total taxable income by $1,500 - in the lowest tax bracket (10%), total owed taxes would be reduced by $150.

Work Opportunity Tax Credit

A Federal tax credit, the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) rewards employers for hiring individuals from certain targeted groups that face significant barriers to employment. Returns vary on a case-by-case basis, with employers eligible for as much as $9,600 per employee. Defined by the Internal Revenue Service, targeted groups include:

Qualified Veterans
Ex-Felons
Designated Community Residents
Vocational Rehabilitation Referrals
Summer Youth Employees
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Recipients
Long-Term Family Assistance Recipients
Qualified Long-Term Unemployment Recipients

Employee Retention Credit

The Employment Retention Credit rewards eligible employers who retained paid employees after March 12, 2020, and before January 1, 2021. Refundable against certain employment taxes, the credit returns 50% of qualified wages paid during the specified time period; wages can be counted up to $10,000 per employee.
