Making it Simple to Claim the Credit

APS has streamlined the process of claiming the credit for its customers.

All that the customer has to do is submit the completed form W-11 to their account manager, who then marks the employee as qualified under the HIRE act. Each payroll, the cash requirement draft to the customers account will be automatically reduced by the credit amount (the employer's 6.2% Social Security tax). The quarterly 941 tax payment will be adjusted, with the credit reflected on the 941 return and qualified wages reported on the employee's W-2. Each of these actions are automated in the system improving the efficiency of the process and eliminating compliance risk.
