JUDGE RULES ACA INVALID – WHITE HOUSE SAYS LAW REMAINS IN PLACE On Friday, December 14, Judge Reed O’Connor, a Texas federal district court judge, issued a decision in Texas v. Azar, a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the individual mandate and, with it, the entire Affordable Care Act (ACA).

The IRS has issued Notice 2018-94 extending the due date for the 2018 1095-B and 1095-C forms to be sent to employees from January 31, 2019 until March 4, 2019. However, the Notice also confirms that the due date for filing those same 1095 Forms with the IRS remains the same: February 28, 2019 if filing paper copies or April 1, 2019 if filing electronically. The notice also extends the good faith transition relief for ACA Reporting. 

Taking the initiative to get the job done is a behavior that should be rewarded. One caveat is that when the outcome is very important, sometimes it's a good idea to ask for help. ACA compliance is very complicated and even a small error in the data can cause inadvertent penalties to be determined by the IRS. If you are not 100% certain the data is error-free, we would be pleased to do a pre-filing audit for you at no cost.

As soon as you e-file your ACA data; the IRS ACA Compliance Validation (ACV) system takes over! Once this process has begun you are now in an adversarial position with the IRS and now have to basically prove that the assessed penalties are incorrect and unnecessary. Why not avoid this trauma and extra work with the FREE examination of your data before it's filed to the IRS.
