Form 5884 B PDF Details

The Form 5884-B, introduced as a part of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act in March 2010, serves businesses looking to claim the New Hire Retention Credit for retained workers. This tax incentive is designed to encourage employers to keep new hires on their payroll for a significant period, reflecting the government's effort to bolster employment rates during challenging economic times. Businesses can claim a credit of up to $1,000 for each qualified retained worker, who must have completed 52 consecutive weeks of employment, with their earnings in the latter half of the year amounting to at least 80% of their initial half-year wages. The credit itself is calculated as the lesser of $1,000 or 6.2% of the employee's wages for the entire 52-week period, contingent upon the employee not experiencing a substantial decrease in wages during the latter 26 weeks. Eligibility hinges on strict criteria, including the timeframe of hiring and the maintenance of wage levels, with the credit claimable in the tax year when the 52-week employment period concludes. The form requires detailed information regarding each retained worker, reinforcing the IRS's meticulous approach to validating claims. Designed to provide financial relief and incentivize job retention, Form 5884-B aligns with broader policies aimed at stimulating economic recovery through employment stability.

A credit of up to $1,000 is allowed for each retained worker. A retained worker generally is a qualified employee (see instructions) whose first 52 consecutive weeks of employment ended in the current tax year. However, the worker's wages (as defined for income tax withholding purposes) for the second 26 consecutive weeks must equal at least 80% of the worker's wages for the first 26 consecutive weeks.

General Instructions

Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code.

Purpose of Form

Use Form 5884-B to figure your new hire retention credit for retained workers (defined later). The new hire retention credit was enacted as part of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act on March 18, 2010. You may be able to claim this credit if you hired a qualified employee (defined later) after February 3, 2010, and before January 1, 2011, and the employee works for you for at least 52 consecutive weeks. The credit is the smaller of $1,000 or 6.2% of the employee's wages (as defined for income tax withholding purposes) paid for the 52 consecutive week period. But you cannot claim the credit if the employee's wages decreased significantly during the second 26 weeks. The credit is claimed in the tax year in which the first 52 consecutive week period ends.

You cannot claim the new hire retention credit TIP unless the employee completes and signs Form

W-11, Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act Employee Affidavit, or similar

statement under penalties of perjury and is otherwise a qualified employee.

The new hire retention credit is part of the general business credit claimed on Form 3800, General Business Credit. No portion of the unused business credit attributable to the new hire retention credit can be carried back to any tax year beginning before March 18, 2010. However, you may be able to carry the unused portion forward. See the Instructions for Form 3800 for details.

Taxpayers, other than partnerships and S corporations, whose only source of this credit is from a partnership or an S corporation are not required to complete or file this form. Instead, report this credit directly on Form 3800.

Definitions

Retained Worker

A “retained worker” is any qualified employee (defined below):

Who was employed by you for a period of not less than 52 consecutive weeks and

Whose wages (as defined for income tax withholding purposes) for the second 26 consecutive weeks of employment are equal to at least 80% of the employee's wages for the first 26 consecutive weeks of employment.

Qualified Employee

A “qualified employee” is an employee who:

Begins employment with you after February 3, 2010, and before January 1, 2011;

Certifies by signed affidavit (Form W-11 or similar statement) under penalties of perjury, that he or she has not been employed for more than 40 hours during the 60-day period ending on the date the employee begins employment with you;

Is not employed by you to replace another employee unless the other employee separated from employment voluntarily or for cause; and

Is not related to you. An employee is related to you if he or she is your child or a descendent of your child, your sibling or stepsibling, your parent or an ancestor of your parent, your stepparent, your niece or nephew, your aunt or uncle, or your in-law. An employee is also related to you if he or she is related to anyone who owns more than 50% of your outstanding stock or capital and profits interest or is your dependent or a dependent of anyone who owns more than 50% of your outstanding stock or capital and profits interest.
