ACA Reporting Requirements
Staying in the know is a crucial component to running a successful business. Last week the U.S. Treasury and the IRS announced an ACA reporting requirements extension for distributing information to employees.
While the IRS is prepared to receive documentation of health coverage by employers, because of feedback from businesses, the required deadlines to report this information to both employees and the IRS has been pushed back. According to a press release, Assistant Secretary for the Tax Policy, Mark Mazur commented, “ As part of our efforts to implement the ACA in a careful and thoughtful way, the Treasury Department and the IRS are responding to feedback from private sector businesses and insurers and providing additional time for employer and insurer reporting under the ACA for the first year,”
