Benefits Buzz – Final Forms and Instructions for 2024 ACA Reporting Now Available
The IRS has released final 2024 forms and instructions for reporting under Internal Revenue Code Sections 6055 and 6056.
No major changes were made to the final forms and instructions for 2024 reporting. As a reminder, the electronic filing threshold for returns required to be filed on or after Jan. 1, 2024, is 10 or more returns (originally, the threshold was 250 or more returns). This requirement applies in the aggregate to certain information returns. Accordingly, a reporting entity may be required to file fewer than 10 of the applicable Form 1094 and 1095 but still have an electronic filing obligation based on other kinds of information returns filed (e.g., Forms W-2 and 1099).
