Practicing Gratitude

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in stress and negativity. However, practicing gratitude can be a powerful tool to improve mental health. Gratitude involves recognizing and appreciating life’s positive aspects, which can reduce stress, anxiety and depression. By focusing on what you have rather than what you lack, gratitude helps shift your mindset to a more positive and resilient state.

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.

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).
