2 Robert Conner, CPA National Tax Assistant Director Jim Ashley, CPA Senior Manager AGENDA Purpose of reporting requirement Applicable forms & when they are due Penalties for noncompliance Information needed to complete forms What I should be doing now to prepare BKD s solution to ACA information reporting 2

3 PURPOSE OF REPORTING REQUIREMENT ACA s #1 goal is for all individuals to have access to affordable health coverage Government is using a stick vs. carrot approach to ensure compliance PURPOSE OF REPORTING REQUIREMENT Individual mandate All individuals, unless exempt, are required to maintain Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) or pay a penalty Reporting is necessary to determine whether individuals are maintaining MEC 3

4 PURPOSE OF REPORTING REQUIREMENT Employer mandate Applicable Large Employers (ALEs) are required to provide affordable MEC to full-time employees or risk penalty if a full-time employee receives a premium tax credit or cost share subsidy Reporting is required for all large employers (those with 50+ full-time employees & equivalents) regardless of coverage offering Reporting is necessary for the IRS to determine If employer has complied with mandate If an employee is eligible for a premium tax credit or cost share subsidy PURPOSE OF REPORTING REQUIREMENT New tax forms help IRS monitor compliance & assess penalties when applicable 1095-A 1094-B/1095-B 1094-C/1095-C 4

5 2015 FORMS 1095-A, 1095-B & 1095-C DECISION TREE: HOW IS PLAN FUNDED? 5

6 HOW IS A 50 EMPLOYEE THRESHOLD MEASURED? Threshold is determined based on previous year employment numbers i.e., If employer has fewer than 50 full-time employees, including full-time equivalent employees, on average during the prior year, employer does not have a 1095-C reporting requirement (1094-B/1095-B may apply if selfinsured) HOW IS A 50 EMPLOYEE THRESHOLD MEASURED? Controlled groups are treated as one employer (e.g., parent-subsidiary controlled groups, brother-sister controlled groups & combined groups) Affiliated service groups & management company arrangements are also treated as one employer If combined number of full-time employees & equivalents for group is 50+, each employer in the group is subject to combined information reporting requirements 6

7 HOW IS A 50 EMPLOYEE THRESHOLD MEASURED? What if employer was not in existence during preceding calendar year? Determination is based on average number of full-time employees & equivalents reasonably expected to be employed on business days in current calendar year WHO IS A FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE? A full-time employee for any calendar month is an employee who Has on average at least 30 hours of service per week during calendar month or At least 130 hours of service during calendar month *Excludes partners & 2% S corporation shareholders 7

8 WHO IS A FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT EMPLOYEE? Full-time equivalent employees are determined using two steps 1. Combine number of hours of service of all non-fulltime employees for month, but do not include more than 120 hours of service per employee 2. Divide total by 120 DECISION TREE REPORTING RECAP 8

9 INFORMATION REPORTING RULES FOR 1095-B & C Due dates for 2015 forms Forms must be sent to recipients by January 31, 2016 Recipients must receive hard copies of forms unless employer acquires affirmative consent for electronic submission (W-2 consent does not count) Forms must be transmitted to IRS by February 29, 2016, if paper filing, or March 31, 2016, if filing electronically IRS electronic filing is mandatory if submitting 250 or more forms 30-day IRS filing extension is granted for paper or e-filing by completing Form 8809 Failure or late filing of forms could subject employer to a penalty of $250 per form INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR 1095-C & 1094-C 9
