Time is Running Out to Meet your Recipient Copy Deadline
The ACA deadline is right around the corner on March 02, 2021, however, much more pressing is the ACA recipient copy deadline. If you are required to complete ACA reporting, you must distribute the copies of Form 1095 to your employees/recipients by March 2, 2021.
Here is the last-minute guide to completing your ACA Forms 1095 on time to meet the March 2, 2021 deadline.
Know your ALE Status
It is always important to be aware of your ALE status as a business. Remember, an applicable large employer, or ALE, is defined by the IRS as an employer with 50 or more full-time and full-time equivalent employees.
Depending on your hiring activities and the number of hours your part-time employees are working, you can become an ALE without realizing it.
Therefore, it is always important to track not only the number of full-time employees on your payroll but the amount of hours being worked by your part-time staff.

You Need a Plan for Printing and Mailing
Printing and mailing your own ACA Forms can sound like a great idea…in theory. However, in practice it is risky. Depending on how many employees you have, this can become hundreds of papers, envelopes, stamps, and several trips to the post office.
If your business is operating remotely during the pandemic this will surely become a nightmare. Plus, after all that hard work it is likely that some of your copies may not end up at your recipient’s correct address due to typos or small errors.
At ACAwise, we understand this, that’s why we offer a complete solution for printing and mailing your forms. We are able to handle high volumes of forms quickly.
In addition to this service, we run USPS validations to confirm that all of your recipient copies are in fact going to valid addresses found in the USPS database.
