- The electronic submission process for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) B Forms and C Forms is now available. To submit your employer 1094 and the employee 1095s to the Internal Revenue Service, use the Submit Electronic File to IRS button located on the Employee 1095-Bs or Employee 1095-Cs tab.
- Note: The files can take up to 7 days to process by the IRS. Once the records have been processed, a message will appear in the Alerts & Information section of the payroll main screen indicating if any errors were found. You may also see the status of the transmission by selecting the IRS Submissions tab within the B or C Forms option. The IRS Submissions tab is also used to view any errors in the submitted records and for sending correction files to the IRS. Here are some additional resources on completing these processes:

- In having taken great care in programming as many of the IRS validation rules as possible, we anticipate that the majority of the errors you may receive back from the IRS will be related to social security and name matching issues. These errors will appear as “AIRTN500 – TIN Validation Failed” messages. Refer to the FAQ regarding this message for guidance on how to correct the errors.
