Federal & State Tax Credit Services
Silverlode’s Federal and State Tax Credit team brings more than a decade of experience securing hiring, investment, and location-based tax credits and incentives for businesses across the country. Our specialists work collaboratively to help employers capture the full value of available federal and state programs while minimizing compliance risk.
Using industry-leading, proprietary technology, we analyze company, employee, and location data to identify and maximize applicable tax credits and incentives—often uncovering opportunities clients did not realize were available. Our tax credit services are fully integrated with Silverlode’s discretionary and negotiated incentives practice, ensuring a coordinated, end-to-end approach to workforce and location strategy.
While many of our tax credit clients employ thousands of workers, we also support growing and mid-sized businesses that are expanding, relocating, or increasing headcount.
Hiring-Based Federal Tax Credits
Silverlode helps employers identify and secure federal hiring incentives, including:
- Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) for qualifying new hires
- Federal Empowerment Zone (FEZ) Tax Credits
- Federal Indian Employment Credit Program
- Federal Disaster Zone Employee Retention Credits
- Federal Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit
Our team manages eligibility analysis, documentation, and compliance to help ensure credits are fully realized and defensible.
Location-Based State Tax Credits & Incentives
At the state and local level, Silverlode identifies and secures a wide range of incentives, including:
- State-based Job Creation and Hiring Tax Credits
- State-based Investment Tax Credits
- Enterprise Zone and Opportunity Area Programs
- State-based Inventory and Property Tax Credits
By aligning workforce data with location-specific incentive programs, we help clients maximize savings while supporting long-term growth.
Flexible, Performance-Based Fees
Silverlode tailors our fee structure to reflect each client’s needs and complexity. The most common arrangement is a contingency-based fee, where fees are earned only after credits or incentives are realized.
We also offer a no-cost, high-level incentive assessment using a list of your company’s locations to identify potential federal and state tax credit opportunities.
With just a list of company locations, Silverlode can perform a high-level assessment of potential incentive programs at no cost.
