ACA Forms › Filing Deadlines for Form 1095-C 2024
As the year draws to a close, it's crucial for employers to understand the ACA reporting obligations and the upcoming deadlines.
Section 6056 mandates that eligible large employers submit Form 1095-C to the IRS each year and distribute copies to their employees by the specified due date to prevent penalties associated with late submissions.
Consequently, the IRS utilizes Form 1095-C to compile information from employers concerning the health coverage they provide to their employees.
Here are the critical dates for filing and distributing Form 1095-C deadlines.
