The IRS has released final Affordable Care Act (ACA) information reporting forms and instructions for the 2023 calendar year. Applicable Large Employers (ALEs) must file the Form 1094-C, as well as copies of the Form 1095-C provided to employees with the IRS no later than March 31st of each year, if filing electronically. If filing by paper, which is permitted only for employers who must file fewer than 10 returns, ALEs must file no later than February 28th/29th of each year.
Here are the three important deadlines for filing 2023 information:
