New Job Tax Credit Tier Rankings
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 2011 Job Tax Credit tier rankings have been published by the Department of Community Affairs / DCA (click here ).

If your client's tier ranking or less developed census tract listing changed for the worse, make sure you submit the Notice Of Intent no later than February 15, 2011 (click here).

Going forward, remember to advise your clients who are adding jobs to be aware of the threshold levels so they add at least the minimum number of jobs to qualify for the credit.

Small Things Can Add Up for Retraining Tax Credits
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are seeing many clients doing small things with employee retraining, such as upgrading their software, adding modules, or modifying their existing software.     

 

Examples include bar coding added to warehouse software, document imaging added for paperless contracts, and electronic prescriptions (ePrescribe) added to patient management systems.

 

As your clients come out of the recession, look out for those small changes that can add up to sizable tax credits.
