Rhode Island ACA filing is now required for ACA forms for Tax Year 2023. We know that new requirements can be tricky, so we’ve created this guide to simplify things!
Rhode Island ACA Filing Requirements
If you are an employer of a Rhode Island resident, or if you provide Minimum Essential Coverage to a Rhode Island resident, you must report your ACA data.
Out-of-state employers who employ Rhode Island residents have the same filing requirements as in-state businesses. These requirements are not limited to businesses that withhold Rhode Island payroll taxes. If you are an out-of-state employer, you must ensure that RI receives any required 1095 document for each Rhode Island resident you employ. Insurers, government agencies, multi-employer plans, and all others responsible for reporting Minimum Essential Coverage to Rhode Island residents also must file the required information with the state.
What are the deadlines for Rhode Island ACA filings?
Traditionally, the deadlines for Rhode Island ACA filings are as follows:
- The deadline to furnish forms to recipients is March 2nd
- The deadline to file your Rhode Island ACA forms is March 31st
Please note: If you are an employer, and if your insurer completes the reporting requirement listed, then there are no further reporting requirements expected of you.
