As we say ‘Thank You’ to those who have served in our armed forces, many of our business clients have found those very veterans to be valuable employees.
The IRS offers business tax credits for those small businesses that hire veterans who have experienced unemployment or have a disability related to their service. Keep this in mind when you bring a veteran onto your team, as there are forms we’ll need to work together to get to the IRS at the time of hire; then we’ll visit the issue again at tax filing time, when Form 5884 lets us tell the IRS you qualify for the credit.
