Thanks to a new tax credit,qualifying small business owners can now reap tax benefits for providing health care to eligible employees. The Small Business Health Care Tax Credit is part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Health Care Act) signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010. Starting with the 2010 tax year, employers that meet certain requirements are eligible for a nonrefundable tax credit of up to 35 percent of the qualifying costs of an employee�s health insurance.

Jackson Hewitt reminds small business owners to invest the time now to determine whether they may be eligible for this significant credit. To qualify, employers must have less than 25 full-time equivalent employees and must pay at least 50 percent of the cost of health coverage for each enrolled employee. The average salary for employees must also be less than $50,000 annually. Employers with no more than 10 employees and an average annual salary between $25,000 and $50,000 per employee will receive the highest percentage of credit.
