Work Opportunity Tax Credit Online System

By completing this process, you request an account to access the automated WOTC system.

You will be given the opportunity to designate your company as the legal forms holder of original signature documents.

A legal forms holder must be designated to hold (maintain) original signature documents (IRS 8850, ETA 9061 and any supporting documentation) for a period of five years from the year that the tax credit is filed by the employer.

When your company is designated as the legal forms holder, you are authorized to enter data from original signature documents and submit this information electronically to the MD WOTC Tax Credit Program Administrator no later than 28 business days after the employee’s Start-to-Work date. The electronic submission date for each application serves as its postmark date.

If you do not choose to be designated as the legal forms holder, you will not submit data electronically, but you can utilize the automated WOTC system to enter data and print documents. Send the original signature documents (IRS 8850, ETA 9061, and any supporting documentation) to the Maryland WOTC Tax Credit Program Administrator (address below), postmarked no later than 28 business days after the employee’s Start-to-Work date.
