A Closer Look At Our ACA Reporting Services
1094 and 1095 Forms
We can create 1094 and 1095 forms and any related documents your business needs to file.
All employers with 50 or more employees must use 1094-C and 1095-C forms to report fully insured and self-insured plans and submit them to the IRS. Those with fewer than 50 employees who are providing employer-sponsored self-insured coverage must use 1094-B and 1095-B. We can help you get these forms completed accurately and on time.
State Coverage Mandates
Several states and the District of Columbia now have coverage mandates of their own, and we can help with the required reporting at both the state and federal levels.
Flexible Service Options
We offer a comprehensive Affordable Care Act service that includes everything needed for full compliance with ACA requirements, such as full-time and part-time tracking with affordability determinations, 1095-C code generation and form management as well as expert support throughout the process.
For employers that only need assistance with the Affordable Care Act’s reporting requirements, we provide a reporting-only option that includes generating 1095-C codes, printing and distributing 1095-C forms, and preparing and filing 1094-C forms, along with expert support.
