New Forms 1095 &1094 for the Affordable Care Act

These new forms are required to report on employee health care coverage during the previous year. This is part of the Employer Shared Responsibility Rule of the Affordable Care Act.

The majority of businesses will need to file these forms!! Who needs to file:

  • Employers with 50 or more full-time employees (or full-time equivalent)
  • Self-insured employers with fewer than 50 employees (a very small number of businesses)
  • Health insurance companies

Businesses can file these forms themselves, or outsource to a payroll company, just like W-2 forms.

Forms 1095-B and 1095-C are used to report to the IRS, and include the following information:

  • Enrolled employees and former employees
  • Details of employees’ health insurance coverage
  • Verification that the minimum essential coverage (MEC) requirement has been met.

Employees and their dependents will use this information to complete their personal tax returns – and those who do not have minimum essential coverage may receive a penalty on their tax returns.

1095-C is for applicable large employers
1095-B is for self-insured employers and health insurance companies
1094-C and 1094-B are the summary transmittal forms

Applicable Large Employers are those with 50 or more full-time employees, including full-time equivalent employees.

These employers must file information returns with the IRS and also provide statements to full-time employees about health coverage the employer offered or to show the employer didn’t offer coverage. 

Use the HealthCare.gov FTE Employee Calculator for more information.

To be prepared to report this information to the IRS and issue the new Form 1095C to employees, you’ll need to: 

  • Determine if your organization is an applicable large employer.
  • Determine the kind of health insurance coverage you offered to full-time employees and their dependents, if any.
  • Identify who your full-time employees are for each month and track health coverage information in 2015 to help complete new IRS forms.

Are you an applicable large employer?

Your organization is an applicable large employer if you or other entities that must be combined together with your organization (for instance, other members of an aggregated group) employed an average of at least 50 full-time employees, including full-time equivalent employees, on business days during the preceding calendar year.

To determine if your organization is an applicable large employer for a year, count your organization’s full-time employees, full-time equivalent employees and, if you are a member of a combined group, the full-time employees and full-time equivalent employees of all members of the group for each month of the prior year and then average the numbers for the year.

An aggregated group is commonly owned or otherwise related or affiliated employers, which must combine their employees to determine their workforce size.

Which employees count?

Employers average the number of employees across the months in the year to see whether they will be an applicable large employer for the next year.

In general: A full-time employee is an employee who is employed on average, per month, at least 30 hours of service per week (or at least 130 hours of service in a calendar month).

A full-time equivalent employee is a combination of employees, each of whom individually is not a full-time employee (has fewer than 30 hours of service per week), but who, in combination, are equivalent to a full-time employee.

Getting Ready: Monthly Tracking

To prepare for 1095 reporting, applicable large employers need to track information each month, including:

  • Whether you offered full-time employees and their dependents minimum essential coverage that meets the minimum value requirements and is affordable.
  • Whether your employees enrolled in the self-insured minimum essential coverage you offered.

You need to track this information because you could be subject to an employer shared responsibility payment if either:

  • You offered coverage to fewer than 95% of your full-time employees and their dependents and at least one full-time employee enrolled in coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace and receives a premium tax credit, or
  • You offered coverage to at least 70% of your full-time employees and their dependents, but at least one full-time employee receives a premium tax credit (because coverage offered was not affordable, did not provide minimum value or the full-time employee was not offered coverage).
