Employment Tax Credits
 
Many federal and state employment tax credits are available to businesses yet thousands of dollars go unclaimed every year. Why? Although tax credits can be lucrative for a business, they are complex to identify and recoup. But you should not let the complexity of tax credit programs hinder you from pursuing them. They are a “low-hanging fruit” opportunity to increase your bottom line.

The most opportune way for you to pursue tax credits is to partner with an experienced firm who already has a proven track record for claiming millions of dollars in tax credits. Honkamp Krueger & Co., P.C. is available to claim your deserved tax credits for you.

The Power of Tax Credits

To demonstrate the power of tax credits, here is a conservative example of how it works:

>A company has 200 employees and experiences 100% turnover.

>Of the 200 employees, 15% (or 30 employees) qualify for tax credits.

>The tax credit is worth, at a conservative estimate, $1,000 per employee.

Therefore, 30 employees multiplied by $1,000 is a $30,000 tax credit in one year!
