Getting Incentives and Credits on Your Business' Income Taxes

Different states have different tax credits and incentives, and many have strict rules surrounding compliance and qualifications for these. Below are summaries for just a fraction of what is available in the US.

California
California provides quite a few employment credits for businesses. The Department of Housing and Community Development allows up to two Manufacturing Areas to be asked for by California cities’ governing boards by adhering to preset criteria. Also, the Hiring Credit for Manufacturing Enhancement Area is accessible by taxpayers who are qualified and employ disadvantaged individuals. Any deduction that is permitted by Corporation Tax Law for salaries and wages that the credit is based upon must be reduced by the amount of that credit prior to any reduction surrounding how much credit is allowed for it.

Connecticut
Connecticut’s Hiring Incentive Tax Credit, against state taxes, might be accessible by employers. If it is available to the employer, he or she can obtain a credit of $125 per month for up to one year for each employee working at least 30 hours a week for one month, who has also gotten Temporary Family assistance for more than nine months. An eligible employee can total up to $1500 per year with this credit.

Massachusetts
Massachusetts provides a Full Employment Credit for any employer participating in the Full Employment Program. This credit is worth $100 each month per participating employee, up to $1200. Any unused portions of this credit can be carried for up to five years. The Department of Transitional Assistance must first approve participation in this program.

New York
New York taxpayers that qualify for an investment tax credit can be eligible for employee incentive tax credit for the next two tax years. This is allowed as a credit in the sole situation that the business’ average employee population is at least 101% of the average employee population during the business’ employment base year – this is defined as the year that precedes the year that the tax credit is permitted.
