ACA 1095 Filing for Employers

Employers with More than 50 Full Time Equivalent Employees (including commonly owned companies) or who offer a Self-Funded Medical Plan (of any size) Must Report Health Coverage Offered to the IRS for 2022.



Employers and Carriers will be required to provide reporting on the health coverage they offer so the IRS can verify that employers are meeting their responsibility; and ensure that individuals who request premium tax credits are entitled to them. Employers who offer medical coverage and have more than 50 Full Time Equivalent Employees are required to file 1094C & 1095C. Employers who are on a self-funded medical plan (of any size) are required to file 1094B & 1095C.


2022 Form 1094 and 1095 Due February 28, 2023 (or March 31, 2023, if filing electronically) Paper Copies to Employees are Due February 28, 2023. All eligible employees should receive a 1095 even if they waived coverage.
