Affordable Care Act: Employer Reporting Requirements
Employers that have 50 or more full-time employees as defined by IRS Section 4980H are Applicable Large Employers (ALEs). They must follow the requirements for ALEs that self-fund, which means that they must report and submit under both Sections 6055 & 6056 (may use combined reporting). Each SMHG ALE and Non-ALE is responsible for its own reporting.
Employers that have fewer than 50 full-time employees as defined by IRS Section 4980H are non-Applicable Large Employers (non-ALEs). Non-ALES that are participating in a MA municipal joint purchase group that self-funds its health plans must report under Section 6055. This means these Non-ALEs must fill out and submit IRS Forms 1094-B and 1095-B.
For 2019, the due dates to file information returns with the IRS are March 2, 2020 for paper filers, or March 31, 2020 for electronic filers.
