Updated on February 9, 2023 - 10:30 AM by Admin, TaxBandits
Nearing the end of the 2022 tax year, it's time for the employers to be aware of the ACA reporting requirements and its deadlines for 2023.
Under section 6056, every year the applicable large employers must file Form 1095-C with the IRS and furnish the copies to the employees before the deadline to avoid late filing penalties.
As a result, the IRS uses Form 1095-C to gather information from the employers about health coverage information offered to the employees.
The following topics are covered in this article:
1. When is the Deadline for filing Form 1095-C for 2023?
