HOW EMPLOYERS CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE Work Opportunity Tax Credit Program?
To receive certification that a new employee qualifies the employer for this tax credit, the employer must:
Complete the one-page IRS Form 8850 by the day the job offer is made.
Complete either the one page ETA Form 9061 or Form 9062 as appropriate. For example:
If the new employee has already been conditionally certified as belonging to a WOTC target group by a state workforce agency (SWA) or participating agency, complete the bottom part of ETA Form 9062, sign and date it.
If the new employee has not been conditionally certified, the employer and/or the new employee must fill out and complete, sign and date ETA Form 9061.
Mail the completed and signed IRS and ETA forms to: Employment Service Division Department of Ind. Relations 649 MONROE STREET MONTGOMERY, AL 36131 NEW: IRS Form 8850 must be mailed within 28 days of the employee's employment-start date for all individuals who begin work for an employer on or after January 1, 2007.

The state cannot arrest the prevalence of crime away; only by a change in life values can the criminal minded person set themselves free of transgressions against humanity. Therefore, as no person succeeds in life on their own, upon reentry, society must proactively intervene on the ex-offender’s behalf.
