8941 Health ins credit

The instuctions for this form talk about seasonal employees - "Seasonal employees who work for you 120 or fewer days during the tax year are not considered emeployees in determining FTE's and average annual wages."

I have 2 clients (a nursing home, and a pizza place) that have a huge turnover of employees, and many of them would work less than 120 days. But, they are not hired with "seasonal" intent. I also have a client who in in the road constrution business that has many employees working less than 120 days. I know his employees don't qualify. I'm just wondering on these other people if I consider them as not FTE because they are less than 120 days. Or if I consider them because there is no seasonal intent.

any thoughts would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

I'd agree that they are not seasonal in the first 2 businesses. Truely read all the instructions and do the calculations since its based off of hours worked. I did this for one client and it took me about an hour and half to do the claculation and resulted in a $400 credit....still more than what I charged them for my time.
