Updated on August 28, 2023 - 10:30 AM by Admin, Tax bandits
In addition to the ACA mandate that employers offer affordable health coverage to their employees, Section 6055 and 6056 of the ACA require Applicable Large Employers (ALEs) to file forms 1094-C and 1095-C with the IRS.
1094-C is the transmittal form that must be filed with the 1095-C form.
Eventually, Forms 1094-C and 1095-C are used by Applicable Large employers to report health coverage information offered by employees to the IRS.
