You and your Applicable Large Employer (ALE) clients should join us for a special webinar on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employer reporting for 2023 related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Reporting is mandatory for Applicable Large Employers (ALEs). Don't know if you're an ALE? We will cover how to make this determination, including how to ascertain and calculate Full Time (FT) employees and Full Time Equivalents (FTEs).
Employers filing 10 or more information returns, including Forms 1094/1095, W-2, and 1099, are required to file electronically.
Each employer — not an ACA reporting vendor — must sign Form 1094-C. We’ll help you understand how to correctly complete the form.
ALEs are required to report on all persons employed full-time for at least one full calendar month of 2023.
Reporting for 2023 is due to employees (using Form 1095-C) on or before March 1, 2024.
Employers filing 10+ returns are required to file electronically on or before April 1, 2024.
An ALE is an organization that employs a minimum average of 50 FT employees and full time equivalents (FTEs), based on the prior calendar year. ALEs must comply with the ACA's employer shared responsibility ("employer mandate") provisions, and must report coverage offers to the IRS.
An ALE may be a single company or may consist of multiple companies that are combined because of common ownership (such as parent and subsidiary entities or other related/affiliated entities), which the IRS calls a Controlled Group. It is imperative for a CPA or tax professional to make this determination if common ownership is a factor.
