ACA Reporting Requirements Remain, One Deadline Extended

Despite significant legislative efforts to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act, and despite some changes that have been enacted into law, the Act’s tax-related reporting requirements for “large” employers and plan sponsors remain in place. Those requirements consist of distributing forms to full-time employees and plan participants about their health coverage, as well as filing the forms with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Large employers and plan sponsors will need to comply with those reporting requirements this year in the same manner as in previous years.
