Meeting ACA reporting requirements can be daunting, especially with the complexity of regulations and the need for precise data. Many businesses struggle to manage the intricacies of ACA compliance, which includes tracking employee hours, verifying eligibility, and accurately reporting to the IRS. Fortunately, ACA-Track offers a powerful, user-friendly solution that automates these tasks, allowing your business to stay compliant with minimal effort and reduce the risk of costly penalties.
The Challenges of ACA Reporting
The ACA requires businesses to track and report detailed information about employee health coverage, including offering coverage to full-time employees and filing the necessary forms with the IRS. However, businesses face several challenges when it comes to ACA reporting:
- Tracking Hours for All Employees: Determining ACA eligibility for full-time, part-time, and variable-hour employees requires meticulous tracking of hours worked. Manual tracking methods are often inaccurate and time-consuming, leading to potential reporting errors.
- Complex Reporting Forms: The IRS requires businesses to submit Forms 1094-C and 1095-C, which contain detailed employee data, health coverage information, and ACA codes. Completing these forms manually is labor-intensive and prone to mistakes.
- IRS Filing Deadlines: Filing these forms accurately and on time is essential to avoid IRS penalties. Missing deadlines or submitting incomplete forms can lead to financial penalties and increased scrutiny.
