As the IRS continues to actively enforce the employer shared responsibility payments and associated employer reporting requirements, we are reminded that the employer mandate under §4980H of the ACA remains in effect and requires compliance to avoid potential penalties. All applicable large employers (ALEs) are subject to §4980H offer of coverage requirements and §6056 employer reporting requirements. ALEs who fail to comply with §4980H offer of coverage requirements and report accordingly to the IRS via Forms 1094-C and 1095-C may find themselves subject to penalties (employer shared responsibility payments). Following is a summary of the offer of coverage requirements under §4980H and the associated penalties for employers who fail to comply.
