Investopedia explains 'Indian Employment Credit'

Some Native American Indian employees will not qualify the employer for the tax credit, including those whose wages from the company do not meet a certain threshold specified by the Internal Revenue Service, those who are 5% owners of the company and those whose work is related to certain gaming activities. Employers must use IRS form 8845, Indian Employment Credit, to claim the credit.
