NYS Workers with Disabilities Tax Credit
The Workers with Disabilities Tax Credit program provides a NYS tax credit to certified for-profit businesses that hire individuals with developmental disabilities. For eligible individuals hired full-time (30 hours or more per week), the tax credit is based on 15% of that individual’s annual wage, not to exceed $5,000. For eligible individuals hired part-time (8 to 29 hours per week), the tax credit is based on 10% of that individual’s annual wage, not to exceed $2,500. The tax credit program is set to expire on January 1, 2020. Complete details regarding this tax credit can be found at NYS Department of Labor website.
