Proposed Employer Reporting Rules Released

Proposed rules have been issued by the Internal Revenue Service for two types of reporting under the Affordable Care Act (ACA or health care reform law). A proposed rule means that parts of it could still change. Comments are being accepted through November 8, and hearings are scheduled in mid-November. The two types of reporting are: 

1. Employer mandate reporting (section 6056), and
2. Minimum essential coverage reporting for insurers and employers (section 6055)
 

The proposed rules are very technical. To see who is responsible for reporting and what data is expected to be reported, please view this fact sheet and FAQ.
