Despite the efforts to repeal (or repeal and replace) the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and the reduction of the individual mandate penalty to $0, the requirement that applicable large employers file the reports required by the ACA is still in effect. There are likely to be changes to the required forms for 2019 and filing deadlines, so even employers that have filed the reports in the past may need guidance to file appropriately for 2019. The employer shared responsibility penalties and penalties for failing to file in a timely manner have increased, and electronic filing is still required for employers filing 250 or more forms. Some confusing references to transitional relief provisions that have expired have been removed, the instructions on “de minimis” errors and reporting of opt-out payments have been clarified, but reporting of Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) and COBRA remains complex.
Please join Christine Williams as she helps employers prepare for the 2019 reports with a line-by-line analysis of the forms.
