2. The employee is at least 15 years old, but not more than 19 years old.

3. The employee receives an hourly wage that is at least equal to the federal minimum hourly wage.

4. The employee was a resident of this state on January 1 of the year in which the employee is employed by the taxpayer.

5. The employee resides in a county where the average rate of total unemployment is 6 percent or greater, as determined by the U.S. secretary of labor based on jobs data for March of the year in which the employee is employed by the taxpayer.

The maximum credit amount that a business may claim for the taxable year is $1,500 for each eligible employee, not to exceed $7,500. If the credit amount exceeds the taxpayer's tax liability, the taxpayer does not receive a refund and may not claim the unused amount in subsequent taxable years.
