Kentucky’s Big Tax Credit Boost for Small Biz | Lexington News

Kentucky’s throwing down big bucks for small businesses—up to $25K in state tax credits if you hired new staff and invested in gear or tech. Governor Beshear’s got a November 1 deadline to snag this for your 2026 taxes. Qualify by adding at least one full-time employee and spending $5K+ on qualifying equipment in the last two years. Most for-profits with 50 or fewer employees qualify, across sectors like construction, retail, and services. Last year’s winners pumped back over $3.9M and created 352 jobs. Apply early—late submissions might push your credit to 2027. KY Innovation handles it all, having helped create 5,100+ jobs and $53M in investments since launch. Check NewKentuckyHome.ky.gov now.
