February can be quite a busy time for businesses, so if you aren’t exactly ready to prepare another huge return, don’t panic. We have the solutions set in place for you to quickly prepare your ACA forms by the March 2nd deadline, or you can even get an extension if you need more time.
Need More Time to File ACA Forms? We Can Help
Now you sort of already have an extension because the original ACA form distribution deadline was January 31, but the IRS extended the due date to March 2nd, giving you 30 extra days to provide Form 1095-B or 1095-C to your covered individuals.
March 2nd is only the deadline for distributing copies of these tax forms to your covered individuals. You have until February 28th to paper file these forms and until April 2nd to e-file them.
Due to these extensions, your covered individuals may not receive Form 1095-B or Form 1095-C by the time they’re ready to file their personal income tax returns, but that’s fine. These forms may help them file but aren’t required. Information about their healthcare coverage can be found on other documents.
Form 1095-B is used to by insurance providers, including insurance companies, self-insured employers, employers with less than 50 full-time employees, and other agencies that provide health care coverage to report individuals offered the minimum essential coverage and information regarding that coverage to the IRS.
Form 1095-C an annual statement used by ALESs (Applicable Large Employers) to report the health insurance coverage offered to their full-time time employees under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
