Helping employers move people forward

We make it easier for employers to participate in programs that strengthen both their workforce and the communities they serve.

 
 
 

Since 1978, Maximus Tax Credit and Employer Services has helped employers claim valuable tax credits and stay compliant with federal and state requirements, turning business goals into community impact.

Part of Maximus

We began with a simple goal: to simplify complex government programs for those who rely on them. As the employer-focused division of Maximus, Inc., we help organizations turn those programs into real opportunities through initiatives like the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), I-9 and E-Verify compliance, and workforce outreach.

This people-first focus extends across Maximus. Since 1975, Maximus has partnered with governments to help individuals and families access services that improve their lives and expand access to opportunity. Our Tax Credit and Employer Services division carries that same mission into the private sector, providing employers with the tools to grow responsibly and invest in their people.

We remain guided by the same values: a commitment to ethics, responsibility, and transparency, and a belief that business decisions should support the long-term well-being of the people we help.

Employer Services

We provide employer compliance solutions that simplify I-9 and E-Verify processes, strengthen outreach to diverse candidates, and support responsible growth.

Why it matters

When employers participate in programs like the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) or partner with community organizations through MAXOutreach, they are doing more than meeting a requirement. They are helping people move from uncertainty to stability.

Tax credits free up resources that businesses can reinvest in wages, benefits, and training. Inclusive hiring brings a broader range of voices and experiences into the workforce, creating a more resilient and diverse economy. Families gain steady income, local economies grow stronger, and communities thrive.
