2023 ACA Reporting Requirements for Employers

IRS Section 6055 states that any person who provides minimum essential coverage to individuals must report the offered coverage information to the IRS and furnish statements to individuals. Minimum essential coverage includes government-sponsored programs, eligible employer-sponsored plans, individual market plans, and other coverage the Department of Health and Human Services designates as minimum essential coverage.

Reporting ACA Form 1095-B, Health Coverage

The IRS designed Form 1095-B for health insurance issuers or carriers, plan sponsors of self-insured group coverage, and executive departments/agencies of governmental units to report those they covered on Forms 1094-B and 1095-B. It is used to report information about the individuals (employee, spouse, and dependents) who had certain health coverage for some or all months during the year.

Health coverage provider must file Form 1095-B for each of their recipients, as each provides information on the employee’s health insurance coverage for each month of the year.

In addition to filing this Form with the IRS, mandated filers must also furnish their recipients with a copy of the Form 1095-B.
