Unlock Powerful Tax Savings in Federal Empowerment Zones
If your business operates within a Federal Empowerment Zone, you're sitting on a powerful financial opportunity that too many employers overlook: special tax credits and incentives designed to reward businesses for investing in underserved communities. Here’s what you could be missing out on:
Empowerment Zone Employment Credit (EZEC)
This credit allows employers to claim up to $3,000 per year for each qualified employee who lives and works in a designated Empowerment Zone.
What qualifies?
- Your business is located in a federally designated Empowerment Zone.
- You employ individuals who also live in that zone.
- The employee works at least 90 days and performs 50%+ of services within the EZ.
It’s a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your federal tax liability – not a deduction, a credit.
Additional Benefits May Include:
- Increased Section 179 Deduction for qualifying property placed in service in an EZ.
- Tax-exempt bond financing options for qualified businesses.
- Wage credits and other incentives for hiring local talent and stimulating economic growth in the community.
