ACA Reporting in 2018
In todays Failure to comply with ACA reporting requirements can lead to extremely costly penalties: for each late, incomplete, or incorrect form, the IRS can levy a fee of $260. The ACA also mandates employers provide certain forms to employees on top of filing reports with the IRS. There’s a separate fee for failing to provide the forms to your employees, so if you fail to provide a form to both the IRS and your employee you could receive a penalty of $520 per employee.
While it may feel like you have plenty of time to get everything in order, we’ve seen many employers procrastinate and fail to meet ACA requirements. Large employers especially benefit from securing ACA compliance assistance early. If you have a large number of employees it will, of course, take more time to prepare and submit the proper ACA reporting forms, and you run a higher risk of noncompliance. Securing ACA reporting assistance now will give you a head start so you can rest assured you won’t be subject to any penalties.
