FAQ: How do I resolve the 1094-C error for “Minimum Essential Coverage Offer Indicator must be completed for either All 12 Months or all individual months.”?

The 1094-C validation error for “Minimum Essential Coverage Offer Indicator must be completed for either All 12 Months or all individual months.” signifies the (a) Minimum Essential Coverage Offer Indicator column on the Employer 1094-C tab in the ACA C Forms option has not been completed for each month of January through December or for the All 12 Months field.  To resolve the issue, enter Yes or No for each individual month in the (a) Minimum Essential Coverage Offer Indicator column (on the Employer 1094-C tab in the ACA C Forms option), or if the same indicator applies to all 12 months of the calendar year, enter Yes or No in the All 12 Months field instead.  For more information on completing the 1094-C form, refer to the Preparing, Validating, and Printing 1094-C Form topic in the Help File.
