Section IX - State Tax Credits andRelated Employer Incentives

Several states have implemented tax credits to incentivize employers to hire and retain individuals with multiple barriers to the general workforce, including workers with disabilities. How these tax incentives are structured, however, may either create or impede opportunities for workers with disabilities to pursue and engage in competitive integrated employment. The following section is intended to help states assess any existing tax credits the state administers to incentivize the employment of individuals with disabilities, and to identify any strengths or gaps in these credits that would impact access to competitive, integrated employment opportunities.
