A taxpayer may not claim a credit for one qualified individual for more than three tax years. The maximum credit for one tax year is $12,000.
To apply for this credit, obtain a Form RPD-41280, Job Mentorship Tax Credit Certificate, from the secondary school operating the career preparation education program for each qualified student you employ.
For assistance obtaining the certificate, contact the principal of the school that the student you employ attends.

Also, attach a Job Mentorship Tax Credit Certificate for each qualified student employed during the tax year. You may carry unused credit forward for three consecutive years.
A partnership or other business association of which the taxpayer is a member may claim a credit in proportion to the taxpayer's interest in the partnership or association.
