ACA Reporting 6055 & 6056 Compliance
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) imposes demanding information reporting responsibilities on employers starting with the 2015 calendar year. 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 1095-C & 1094-C). The filing requirements are based on an employer’s health plan and the number of employees.
Our agency offers an Automated Solution for Employers that generates applicable Forms 1094-B, 1095-B, 1094-C and 1095-C forms and electronic filing with simple uploads of an MS Excel workbook.
