The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal program, and it is administered at a state level via State Workforce Agencies who handle the review, processing and distribution of certifications (or denials). State Agencies require employers, or service providers like WOTC.com, submitting WOTC applications to them to do so within 28 days of the employee’s start date. This is to ensure timely processing of qualified applicants due to the large volume of applications that the states receive.
By not submitting your WOTC applications within the 28-day time frame, you can easily miss out on thousands of dollars on tax credits.
