Want to take advantage of tax credits available for your company? A cost-effective and streamlined way to request your tax credits is through the use of our online application. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal tax incentive program for businesses hiring individuals who
face significant barriers to employment. The employer, or its agent, must apply for and receive certification from
us to claim these tax credits.
To request access to enter data electronically through the WOTC online application, submit your company's name and address, Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), and the names of your employees you authorize to use the system on your company letterhead. Scan your letter and email it to us to wotc_contact@jfs.ohio.gov. Once we process your request, authorized employees will receive log in information. For security purposes, do not share usernames and passwords.
Your benefits to requesting certifications online include:
- Reduced postage fees
- Immediate postmark date
- Expedited processing
- Next day status
- Immediate issue resolution
Agents acting on behalf of employers must send us a valid Power of Attorney. Please refer to the top, left navigation box for additional information.
Start the Certification process now.
