As an employer, you’ve spent countless hours shopping around for affordable health care that meets all of the ACA requirements and you’ve sent out all of the plan information to your employees. Perhaps you’ve even invited a representative from the insurance company to help explain the plan options and answer questions. You can finally let out a big sigh of relief now that all the hard work is over…right?
Wrong!
ACA Filing?
All Applicable Large Employers (ALEs) should be abiding by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Employer Shared Responsibility Provisions (ESRP). This is more than just offering an appropriate health coverage to all full-time employees. Employers are also expected to submit ACA filings to the IRS detailing the offers of coverage and they must furnish these forms to the employees as well.
January 31st is the deadline to issue your eligible employees their Form 1095-Cs. This is approaching faster than you might think.
If you’re company has a large payroll or HR staff, then this may not be a big deal to you as you have ample staff to get through this workload. If you’re a smaller company with only a couple employees that can work on this, then it’s a lot of additional responsibility for only a few people. Imagine all of the “fun” it will be for your few lucky employees who need to manually fill out all of the 1095-C’s, print, stuff in envelopes, and mail a copy to each employee. Then still need to fill out your 1094-C and send it with copies of the 1095-C forms to the IRS.
Large Filers
If your company has 250 or more full-time or equivalent employees, you must file your 1094-C and 1095-C’s electronically.
If you plan on submitting your ACA filing on your own, then your payroll staff needs to learn the IRS AIR system, apply for a TCC (Transmitter Control Code), learn about XML files, manifests, and error codes. Do we want to talk about the nightmare of file rejections? What if you need to file corrections? It can be a cumbersome undertaking to say the least.
