Small Business Health Care Tax Credit

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 contained a provision to provide a tax credit to small employers that provide health coverage, have less than 25 employees and have average annual wages of its employees of less than $50,000.  To learn more about this tax credit visit the IRS link.

Our friends from GuideStone Financial Resources (Southern Baptist Convention) have provided a very informative webinar on the Small Business Health Care Credit with attorney Daniel Miller. You can click here to link to this helpful webinar.
