Work Opportunity Tax Credits in the news:
Bill would make permanent tax credits for businesses that hire veterans
Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Kay Hagan announced that she has introduced the Hire A Hero Act to help lower the unemployment rate among veterans. The bill would make the Work Opportunity Tax Credit for Returning Heroes and Wounded Warriors permanent. It provides businesses with a tax credit of up to $5,600 for hiring a long-term unemployed veteran and $9,600 for hiring a long-term unemployed veteran with a service-connected disability. Hagan worked in 2011 to keep the provision intact, which is currently scheduled to expire at the end of year.
