An employer who hires a qualified veteran can claim a Delaware tax credit of 10 percent of the veteran’s wages, up to $1,500, for the year the veteran is hired and for the two following tax years. A qualified veteran is someone who served in a hostile environment, such as Iraq or Afghanistan.
The employer claims the credit on the Delaware tax return for the year the veteran is hired and the two following years. Contact Delaware Division of Revenue or the Office of Veterans Services if you need the current claim form.
