    Taxpayers use form FTB 3554, New Employment Credit, to figure a credit for a qualified taxpayer that hires a qualified full-time employee and pays or incurs qualified wages attributable to work performed by that employee in a Designated Geographic Area(DGA) and receives a Tentative Credit Reservation(TCR) for that employee.

    2. Continue to the screen Take a look at California credits and taxes
    3. Scroll down to Business and investment credits
