SyncStream’s ACA Clients Are Now Able to Leverage Lucrative Federal Hiring Credits
ACA reporting and compliance leader SyncStream Solutions LLC is excited to announce the launch of their integrated Work Opportunity Tax Credit service, powered by their new tax credit parent company, OnCentive.
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal hiring incentive available to employers, rewarding them for every new hire who falls within one of several eligibility groups. Depending on the qualifications, companies may be eligible to receive between $1,200 to $9,600 per qualified new hire.
The newly launched service will allow OnCentive to screen SyncStream clients’ new employees for WOTC eligibility and manage proper documentation, filing, and certification. OnCentive’s technology integrates directly with State Workforce Agencies, offering higher compliance and faster turnaround time for clients’ credits getting certified.

“Most businesses are unaware of how lucrative capturing the Work Opportunity Tax Credit can be. On average, 30% of new hires fall within one of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit’s targeted groups,” said Shannon Scott, OnCentive & SyncStream CEO. “However, that percentage is much higher in high-turnover industries such as hospitality, food service, construction, manufacturing, staffing, and other blue-collar trades.”
Unlike other tax credits and recovery programs, capturing the Work Opportunity Tax Credit is often a function of a company’s HR department, rather than their accounting department. In order to leverage these credits, a business needs to apply within the first 28 days of a new employee’s start date and receive a certification verifying that the new hire is a member of a targeted group before they can claim the tax credit. After the required certification is secured, taxable employers claim WOTC as a general business credit against their income taxes, and qualified tax-exempt employers claim WOTC against their payroll taxes Social Security tax liability.

SyncStream clients assume no upfront financial risk by signing up for WOTC services due to OnCentive’s 100% success-based fee structure.
