SPECIAL NOTE: If you hire me, you will be eligible for new federal tax credits under the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (HIRE) enacted in March 2010. Your 6.2 percent share of Social Security tax would be waived through the end of 2010 for wages paid to me. The exemption would be claimed on your quarterly federal tax returns. This incentive is in addition to the long-standing employer's Work Opportunity Tax Credit, which you would also be eligible for. To read about the HIRE Act, click HERE.
