Growing up means more responsibility!  We’re talking about Forms 1094 and 1095, but you may see this type of reporting referred to by other numbers: 6055 and 6056. The IRS is in charge of making sure that everyone has health insurance, or pays a penalty, and that all large employers must offer health care coverage, or, you guessed it, pay a penalty. Governed by Sections 6055 and 6056 of the ACA, the IRS monitors health care usage through Forms 1094 and 1095. The 1094 and 1095 are a package deal. Form 1095 provides information about the health insurance elected by each employee. This form gets sent to both employees and the IRS. Think of the 1095 as the W-2 reporting for health insurance. And Form 1094 is essentially a cover sheet for the 1095 and only needs to be sent to the IRS.  But we’re dealing with the IRS here, so it’s not that simple. There are actually three forms involved with the 1095:  - Health exchanges send Form 1095-A   - Insurance carriers send Form 1095-B   - Self-insured employers send Form 1095-C   As a large employer, you want to focus on Forms 1094-C and 1095-C. As an aside: Technically, Form 1094-C is called Transmittal of Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage Information Returns. See why the IRS uses form numbers?   Form 1094-C includes:  - Employer’s address, phone number, EIN - Contact person - Number of 1095-Cs being submitted - Certifications of eligibility - Aggregated group members Form 1095-C includes:  - Health care coverage offered  - Lowest-cost premium available to employee - Which months coverage was available  ### When are they due?  Unlike in 2021 when the IRS extended the deadline to send 1094-C and 1095-C forms to employees, there was no extension to the mailing deadline in 2022. Employers have until the customary date of Jan. 31 to mail these forms. The deadlines for filing with the IRS are Feb. 28 for paper filers and March 31 for electronic filers. Paper copies must be mailed to employees, unless they opt in to receiving them electronically.  Currently, employers who submit at least 250 of these forms must file electronically [here](https://www.irs.gov/e-file-providers/affordable-care-act-information-returns-air). However, a proposed change would reduce that threshold to 100 in 2022 and just 10 in 2023 and beyond. The rule would also require employers to aggregate all of the forms they are submitting. *After all of this, we don’t blame you if you have questions.
