2019 Instructions for Form FTB 3554 New Employment Credit Booklet

Important Information

New Employment Credit

The New Employment Credit (NEC) is available for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2014, and before January 1, 2026. This credit is for a qualified taxpayer that hires a qualified full-time employee on or after January 1, 2014, and pays or incurs qualified wages attributable to work performed by that employee in a designated census tract, pilot area, or former economic development area, known as the Designated Geographic Area (DGA), and receives a Tentative Credit Reservation (TCR) for that employee. In addition, an annual certification of employment is required with respect to each qualified full-time employee hired in a previous taxable year. In order to be allowed a credit, the qualified taxpayer must have a net increase in the total number of full- time employees working in California, when compared to its base year, both determined on an annual full-time equivalent basis. See Specific Line Instructions, Part I - Net Increase in Full-Time Employees, for more information.

For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for nec.

Reporting Requirement

California law requires the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) to report on FTB’s website the names of employers claiming the credit, the amount of the credit, and the number of new jobs created.

Purpose

Use form FTB 3554, New Employment Credit, to figure a credit for a qualified taxpayer that hires a qualified full-time employee and pays or incurs qualified wages attributable to work performed by that employee in a DGA and receives a TCR for that employee.

The NEC must be claimed on a timely filed original tax return of the qualified taxpayer.

An employer cannot claim the NEC for an employee hired before January 1, 2014.

General Information

A. Designated Geographic Area

In order to qualify for the NEC, the qualified taxpayer must have a qualified full-time employee performing services for the employer in the DGA. The DGA is defined as:

• Designated census tracts that have the highest unemployment and highest poverty in the state.
• Former Enterprise Zones (in existence on December 31, 2011, designated in 2012) and any revision to an EZ prior to June 30, 2013, except census tracts within those EZs with the lowest unemployment and poverty levels.
• Former LAMBRAs (in existence on July 11, 2013).

B. Qualified Taxpayer

A qualified taxpayer is an employer engaged in a trade or business within a DGA who, during the taxable year, pays qualified wages to a qualified full-time employee, and is not in an excluded business. See Line Instructions, Question B, Excluded PBA/NAICS Codes.

A qualified taxpayer must hire a qualified full-time employee on or after January 1, 2014, and before January 1, 2026, and receive a TCR from FTB within 30 days of complying with the Employment Development Department (EDD) new hire reporting requirements for that employee. In addition, a qualified taxpayer must annually certify each qualified full-time employee.

C. Tentative Credit Reservation

An employer is required to obtain a TCR from FTB for a qualified full-time employee. The employer must get the reservation within 30 days of completing the EDD new hire reporting requirements. A qualified taxpayer must obtain the TCR through an online system that is available on FTB’s website. For more information on the TCR, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for nec.

D. Annual Certification of Employment

The qualified taxpayer must annually certify that it is still a qualified employer and that each qualified full-time employee hired in a previous taxable year is still qualified in the current taxable year. The annual certification of employment is due on or before the 15th day of the third month of the qualified taxpayer’s current taxable year. For more information on annual certification, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for nec.

E. Relocating Businesses

A qualified taxpayer who relocates to a DGA will be allowed a NEC for wages paid to each qualified full-time employee employed in the new location only if the taxpayer provides each employee at the previous locations a written offer of employment at the new location, with comparable compensation. Note: This requirement does not apply if the qualified taxpayer is a small business.

This requirement for relocated employees applies if the taxpayer has an increase in the number of qualified full-time employees in a DGA within a 12-month period in which there is a decrease in the number of full-time employees employed in California but outside of the DGA.

F. Qualified wages

Qualified wages are wages paid by the qualified taxpayer during the taxable year to the qualified full-time employee that exceeds 150% but does not exceed 350% of minimum wage. The tentative credit is determined by multiplying the qualified wages for all qualified employees by 35%.

Wages for salaried employees must be converted to an hourly amount. A reasonable way to do this would be to divide the annualized salary by 2000 hours.

Qualified wages are wages paid during the 60 month period beginning with the first day the qualified full-time employee commences employment with the qualified taxpayer in the DGA. For this purpose, commencement of employment or the hire date is the first day for which the individual receives wages/compensation.

For an employer that operates a business that has regularly occurring seasonal or intermittent employment decreases and increases, re- employment of an individual is not a new hire. It is a continuation of the prior employment and does not constitute commencement of employment for the qualified wages test.

Employer employs 25 or fewer employees

Employer employs 26 or more employees

G. Minimum Wage

For any employer who employs 25 or fewer employees, the California minimum wage is:

• $11.00 per hour from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
• $12.00 per hour from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

For any employer who employs 26 or more employees, the California minimum wage is:

• $12.00 per hour from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
• $13.00 per hour from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

H. Limitations

S corporations may claim only 1/3 of the credit against the 1.5% entity level tax (3.5% for financial S corporations). The remaining 2/3 must be disregarded and may not be used as a carryover. S corporations can pass through 100% of the credit to their shareholders.

If a taxpayer owns an interest in a disregarded business entity [a single member limited liability company (SMLLC) not recognized by California, and for tax purposes is treated as a sole proprietorship owned by an individual or a branch owned by a corporation], the usable credit amount received from the disregarded entity is limited to the difference between the taxpayer’s regular tax figured with the income of the disregarded entity, and the taxpayer’s regular tax figured without the income of the disregarded entity.

Get Form 568, Limited Liability Company Tax Booklet, for more information.

This credit cannot reduce the regular tax below the minimum franchise tax (corporations and S corporations), the annual tax (limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and LLCs classified as a partnership), the alternative minimum tax (corporations, exempt organizations, individuals, and fiduciaries), the built-in gains tax (S corporations), or the excess net passive income tax (S corporations).

This credit cannot reduce regular tax below the tentative minimum tax. Get Schedule P (100, 100W, 540, 540NR, or 541), Alternative Minimum Tax and Credit Limitations, for more information.

This credit is not refundable.

Generally, the credit or credit carryover cannot be transferred to another employer unless there was a qualifying merger under the Internal Revenue Code or the credit qualifies under the California Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC) Section 23663 for an assignment to an affiliated corporation.

I. Assignment of Credits

Credits earned by members of a combined reporting group may be assigned to an affiliated corporation that is an eligible member of the same combined reporting group. A credit assigned may only be claimed by the affiliated corporation against its tax liability. For more information, get form FTB 3544, Assignment of Credit, or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for credit assignment.

J. Carryover

If the available credit exceeds the current year tax liability or is limited by tentative minimum tax, the unused credit may be carried over for five years or until the credit is exhausted, whichever occurs first. Apply the carryover to the earliest taxable year. In no event can the credit be carried back and applied against a prior year’s tax. Retain all records that document this credit and carryovers. The FTB may require access to these records.

K. Recapture

You may be required to recapture a previously taken credit if a qualified full-time employee is terminated within the first 36 months after beginning employment. The amount of credit that must be recaptured is the amount for that taxable year and all prior taxable years attributed to qualified wages paid to that employee.

You are not required to recapture the credit if you meet any of the following exceptions:

• The employee voluntarily leaves employment.
• The employee becomes disabled and unable to perform the services of that employment, unless the disability is removed before the close of the period and the employer fails to offer re-employment.
• The employee is terminated due to misconduct.
• The employer has a substantial reduction in operations, including reductions due to seasonal employment.
• The employee is replaced by other qualified full-time employees so as to create a net increase in both the number of employees and the number of hours of employment.
• The employment is considered seasonal, and the qualified employee is rehired on a seasonal basis.

Follow the instructions in the tax booklets if you are required to recapture the NEC.

Examples of the NEC Calculations

Example 1 – Employer with 26 or more employees

ABC Company is a qualified taxpayer and has a net increase in full-time employees. ABC Company receives the full amount of the tentative credit.

ABC Company is on a calendar year basis and operates entirely within the DGA. For its taxable year 2018, ABC Company has 100 full-time employees based on annual full-time equivalents. During taxable year 2019, ABC Company hired a number of new full-time employees, 2 of which were qualified full-time employees. ABC Company received a TCR for these employees as required.

Assume the following facts:

James Smith was hired on January 1, 2019, at an hourly wage of $19.00 and on July 1, 2019, his hourly wage was increased to $20.00 per hour. James worked 2,000 hours during taxable year 2019. Jane Jones was hired on July 1, 2019, at an hourly wage of $20.00 and worked 1,000 hours during taxable year 2019. The qualified wages and tentative credit are computed as follows:

In its base year, annual full-time equivalents were 100. The annual full-time equivalents for 2019 was 108. The net increase in full-time employees over the base year is 8. The credit generated is computed as follows:

Example 2 – Employer with 26 or more employees

ABC Company has a net increase in full-time employees and receives a partial amount of the tentative credit.

Assume the same facts as Example 1, except due to attrition the annual full-time equivalents for taxable year 2019 was 101. The net increase in full-time employees over the base year is 1 (101-100). The credit generated is computed as follows:

Example 3

ABC Company does not have a net increase in full-time employees and receives no amount of the tentative credit.

The annual full-time equivalents for taxable year 2019 was 98. The net increase in full-time employees over the base year is zero (98-100 but it cannot be less than 0). ABC Company cannot claim a credit in taxable year 2019.

Example 4 – Employer with 25 or fewer employees

XYZ Company is a qualified taxpayer and first commences doing business in California on January 1, 2019, and receives the full amount of the tentative credit.

XYZ Company is on a calendar year basis and first commences business in California on January 1, 2019, and operates in the DGA. During its taxable year 2019, XYZ Company hired a number of full-time employees, 2 of which were qualified full-time employees. Assume the following facts:

Jeff Smith was hired on January 1, 2019, at an hourly wage of $17.00 and on July 1, 2019, his hourly wage was increased to $18.00. Jeff worked 2,000 hours during taxable year 2019. Mary Jones was hired on July 1, 2019, at an hourly wage of $18.50 and worked 1,000 hours during taxable year 2019.

The qualified wages and tentative credit are computed as follows:

Since XYZ Company first commenced business in California on January 1, 2019, its base year annual full-time equivalents are zero. Assume its annual full-time equivalents were 5 in taxable year 2019. The net increase in full-time employees over the base year is 5 (5-0). The credit generated is computed as follows:

Line Instructions

Name of taxpayer generating the credit

Enter the name of the taxpayer that generated the tax credit. Also, enter the SSN, ITIN, CA Corporation no., FEIN, or the California Secretary of State file number of the taxpayer in the space provided. Complete this section even if it is the same taxpayer that appears on the California return. Do not enter the word “same”.

Answer Questions A through C

Corporations, exempt organizations, sole proprietors, estates, trusts, and partnerships generating the credit, complete items A through C.

Investors of pass-through entities, start on Line 22.

Question A

An employer is required to obtain a TCR from the FTB for each qualified employee. Only claim a credit for an employee which you obtained a TCR. For more information, see General Information C, Tentative Credit Reservation.

Question B

Enter the Principal Business Activity (PBA) code of your principal activities. The PBAs are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

The entity’s primary line of business is determined on a separate company basis (not a combined group basis) when determining if the corporation is in an excluded industry.

Excluded PBA/NAICS Codes

In order to be a qualified taxpayer, your primary PBA code or NAICS code must not be an excluded one. Excluded businesses are those in temporary help services or retail trades, and those primarily in food services, theater companies and dinner theaters, drinking places (alcoholic beverages), or casinos and casino hotels. These otherwise disqualified businesses may be qualified if they are considered a small business.

The NAICS codes for each of these disqualified industries are:

• Temporary Help-NAICS 561320
• Retail Trade Services-NAICS Sector 44-45
• Primarily Theater Companies and Dinner Theater-NAICS 711110
• Primarily Food Services-NAICS 722511, 722513, 722514, and 722515
• Primarily Casino and Casino Hotels-NAICS 713210 and 721120
• Primarily Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages)-NAICS 722410

All sexually-oriented businesses are excluded from being a qualified taxpayer regardless of their status as a small business explained below. A sexually oriented business includes a nightclub, bar, or similar commercial enterprise that provides for an audience of two or more individuals live nude entertainment or live nude performances where the nudity is a function of everyday business operations, and where nudity is a planned and intentional part of the entertainment or performance.

Question C

For this purpose, “gross receipts” means the sum of the gross receipts from the production of business income, as defined in R&TC Section 25120(a), and the gross receipts from the production of nonbusiness income, as defined in R&TC Section 25120(d).

Gross receipts

If your gross receipts qualify you as a “small business”, the only applicable exclusion is for sexually oriented businesses.

A small business is a business that has aggregate gross receipts, less returns and allowances reportable to this state, of less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) during the previous taxable year.

Determination of whether a taxpayer is a “small business” is made on an annual basis, and is determined by each individual entity.

Part I – Net Increase in Full-Time Employees

The net increase in full-time employees is the total number of annual full-time equivalents in the current taxable year, less the annual full-time equivalents in the base year.

Base year

The base year is the year before the 1st qualified employee is hired. The base year is taxable year 2018 for an employer who hired its first qualified full-time employee during taxable year 2019.

Once the base year is established, it does not change from year to year.

For taxpayers who first commence doing business in California during the current taxable year, the number of full-time employees for the base year would be zero. For more information in determining whether the taxpayer has first commenced doing business in this state during the current taxable year, see Legal Rulings 96-5 and 99-2, and R&TC Sections 17276(f) and 24416(g).

Annual full-time equivalents working in California

An employer must determine their annual full-time equivalents for their base year, and for each taxable year for which they will claim a credit. The number of full-time equivalents is the number of full-time employees who work the entire year and a pro-rata fraction for full-time employees who did not work the entire year. For full-time employees who worked part of the year, the fraction is determined as follows:

• For a full-time employee paid hourly qualified wages, the total number of hours worked for the taxpayer by the employee (not to exceed 2,000 hours per employee) divided by 2000.
• For a salaried full-time employee, the total number of weeks worked for the qualified taxpayer by the employee divided by 52.

Part time employees are not included in the calculation of annual full- time equivalents.

Section A and Section B Decimal Places

For line 4, line 7, and line 8 of Section A, and for line 12, line 15, and line 16 of Section B, enter the result as a decimal (rounded to four decimal places).

Line 8

For taxpayers who first commence doing business in this state during the taxable year, the number of full-time equivalents for the base year is zero. Enter zero on line 8.

Part II – Available Credit

Line 17

Enter net increase in full-time employees as a decimal (rounded to four decimal places).

Line 18

Enter qualified full-time employees. The following are the requirements for a qualified full-time employee:

• Receives starting wages that exceed 150%, up to 350% of the state minimum wage.
• Is hired on or after January 1, 2019.
• Is hired after the DGA is designated.

     • Not receiving wages subject to withholding.
     • Not self-employed.
     • Not a full-time student at a high school, college, university, or postsecondary education institution.
  2. Veteran separated from the U.S. Armed Forces in the preceding 12 months.
  3. Recipient of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) in the previous taxable year. For this purpose, an employee is deemed to be an EITC recipient if the EITC was claimed on the last personal income tax return filed before the employee’s commencement of employment.
  4. Ex-offender convicted of a felony.
  5. Current recipient of CalWORKS or general assistance in accordance with the applicable sections of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

Line 19

The applicable percentage is the net increase in full-time employees in California (determined on an annual full-time equivalent basis) divided by the number of qualified full-time employees, for which you received a TCR. The applicable percentage cannot exceed 100% or 1.0000. Enter the result as a decimal (rounded to four decimal places).

Line 20
