As WOTC experts and service providers since 1997, we hear this question often. It’s a fair one — technically, any employer can administer the Work Opportunity Tax Credit on their own, especially if they hire only a handful of employees each year.
But most employers quickly discover that managing WOTC- the Work Opportunity Tax Credit – in‑house is far more time‑consuming, complex, and administratively heavy than it appears. That’s where CMS comes in.
Why Employers Choose CMS WOTC Software for WOTC Administration
Companies of all sizes rely on CMS because we remove the administrative burden, reduce risk, and help maximize every eligible credit. Here’s what we consistently hear from clients:
- They don’t have the time or staff to manage the administrative workload.
- They don’t want to track or store sensitive paperwork for every new hire.
- They’re unsure about all the rules, deadlines, and compliance requirements that may vary by state.
- They prefer not to ask new employees sensitive eligibility questions during onboarding.
- They don’t have the capacity to follow up with state workforce agencies for months at a time.
- Tracking hours and wages to ensure maximum credit value is a burden.
- They appreciate our contingency model — no credit, no fee.
- They value having a single point of contact for questions, updates, and support.
- They rely on our reporting tools to stay compliant and forecast results.
- They say our software is easy to use, and takes no time to get up and running.
- They can plug our WOTC process into ANY onboarding workflow with no disruption.
In short, CMS reduces the administrative load on your team, helps you stay compliant, and ensures you capture the full value of the WOTC program. We make it easy to implement and even easier to maintain.
