Small Business Tax Credits
Federal law gives a tax credit to eligible small employers who provide health care coverage to their employees. A small employer is eligible for the credit if:
- The business has fewer than 25 full-time equivalent employees
-
the average annual wages of its employees are less than $50,000 (adjusted for inflation beginning in 2014) excluding owners and their relatives
-
it pays a uniform percentage for all employees that is equal to at least 50% of the premium cost of employee-only insurance coverage.

Each part-time employee counts as a fraction of a full-time equivalent employee (for example, two half-time employees equal one full time equivalent employee for purposes of the credit).
