Good news for the WOTC Program!

The Omnibus Spending bill signed by President Trump on Sunday includes a provision that extended the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) for five more years.  The new expiration date for the program is December 31, 2025.  This bill made no other changes to the WOTC program.

Optimism for Expanding WOTC and Making it Permanent

Monday, 02 November 2020 by Vaughn Hromiko

Last Friday, Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) made an appearance during a webcast hosted by the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.  His remarks were optimistic about including a number of tax-extenders in a pandemic stimulus bill after the elections.  I think that as a member of the Senate Finance Committee, Portman just might know something about it.

As described by Law 360, Portman called for expanding the Work Opportunity Tax Credit and making WOTC permanent.  His WOTC expansion would create a new Target Group for people unemployed because of the pandemic. The U.S. Senate included this same provision in its July stimulus proposal.  See post herein, “Senate COVID Bill Would Expand WOTC Again.”

Tax Extenders Are In! WOTC (and beer) Made the List!

Tuesday, 17 December 2019 by Duane Jess

After a long weekend and late nights of negotiations, Congress has agreed upon an end-of-year tax package that includes long-awaited tax extenders.

The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2019 extends the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (aka WOTC) another year, through December 31, 2020. Empowerment Zone tax benefits, which expired in 2017, have been retroactively renewed for 2018, 2019, and 2020.

A few additional renewed tax incentives that may interest our readers include:

It’s Time for Congress to Reauthorize WOTC

Friday, 08 November 2019 by Vaughn Hromiko

Maybe you’ve heard that the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (aka WOTC) is slated to expire on December 31, 2019. And that makes you nervous.

But should it?

Forty years of productive history suggest that WOTC will still be around for years to come.

WOTC is part of the U.S. tax code. Like dozens of similar code provisions, Congress wrote it in a way that requires them to revisit the program from time to time. The upcoming expiration date signals that the moment has arrived again.

Has it happened before? Yes.  Many times.

Tax Extenders Bill Advances Through House Ways and Means

Wednesday, 26 June 2019 by Duane Jess

On June 20th, after a marathon mark-up session and by a vote of 24-17, the US House Ways and Means Committee advanced a number of measures. Of most importance to the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), was H.R. 3301, “The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act.” The bill would extend for one year a number of incentives scheduled to expire at the end of 2019, including the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. This would extend WOTC and other provisions listed through 2020.

We’re Still Waiting – Tax Extenders Omitted from the Two-Year Budget Deal

Thursday, 29 October 2015 by Vaughn Hromiko

I’m sorry, I should have posted this sooner.
The Bipartisan Budget Agreement of 2015 as worked out by Speaker Boehner and other leaders this week does not include WOTC or other tax extenders. The extenders will likely become a priority for the new Speaker in coming days. They most certainly ARE a priority for tens of thousands of businesses and tax payers, all of whom have their eyes on Congress this week. (more…)
