The Affordable Care Act (ACA) imposes demanding reporting responsibilities on employers each calendar year since 2015. The reporting stipulation states that an information return will be prepared for each applicable employee, and these returns must be filed with the IRS using a single transmittal form (Form 1094-B & 1095-B or Form 1094-C & 1095-C). The filing requirements are based on an employer’s health plan and the number of employees. Inability to file or report correctly will result in numerous and expensive fines for employers.

Noncompliance is expensive

Penalties

The IRS can assess $270 penalty per return for late, incomplete or incorrect forms. Also, if the IRS determines that the failure to file is the result of intentional disregard, the penalty is $540 per return without limitations.
In addition to filing reports with the IRS, the ACA requires employers to provide certain forms to employees, similar to the existing W-2 reporting requirements. It is important for employers to be aware that the penalties apply separately to both requirements. For example, a failure to file a Form 1095-C with the IRS and a failure to furnish the same Form 1095-C to the employee will result in two penalties of $270 each, or $540 per affected employee.
The IRS has started enforcement of the ACA employer mandate penalties. Contact us for assistance with Letter 226J assessments by the IRS of Employer Shared Responsibility Payments (ESRP).
