SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Work Opportunity Credit for Qualified Tax-Exempt 
Organizations Hiring Qualified Veterans.
    OMB Number: 1545-2226.
    Form Number: Form 5884-C.
    Abstract: Form 5884-C, Work Opportunity Credit for Qualified Tax-
Exempt Organizations Hiring Qualified Veterans, was developed as a 
result of VOW to Hire Heroes Act of 2011, Public Law 112-56. Section 
261 of Public Law 112-56 expanded the Work Opportunity Credit to tax-
exempt organizations that hire unemployed veterans. The tax credit is a 
reduction in payroll taxes paid by the tax-exempt organization. Form 
5884-C allows a tax-exempt organization a way to claim the credit and 
provides the IRS the information to process the tax credit.
    Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden 
previously approved by OMB. This form is being submitted for renewal 
purposes only.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
