Maryland Tax Credit

I did a small amount of research on tax breaks for Maryland employers who hire people with disabilities. It appears they receive a tax credit of up to $1800 during the first year of employment and up to $1200 during the second year. There’s also an additional credit if the employer pays for the employee’s childcare or transportation expenses (not likely in our cases, but good to know).

Here’s a link for more information about these Maryland tax credits. I think it’s good for us to know about these things when dealing with potential employers. I plan to continue researching how employers are being incentivized to hire people with disabilities. If you have any additional info, please let me know!
