Training Tidbit: How do I submit the ACA 1094 and 1095 forms electronically to the Internal Revenue Service?

To submit the ACA 1094 and 1095 forms electronically to the Internal Revenue Service, use the Submit Electronic File to IRS button located on the Employee 1095-Bs or Employee 1095-Cs tab from within the Affordable Care Act (ACA) B or C Forms option.  The Submit Electronic File to IRS button on the Employee 1095-Bs or Employee 1095-Cs tab is used to submit the file initially for a particular calendar year, and can also be used to submit a corrected file if an employee was missed from the initial submission.

If after submitting a file, there were errors received, make the appropriate changes to resolve the errors, and then utilize the Submit Electronic File to IRS button located on the IRS Submissions tab to submit the corrected information to the Internal Revenue Service.  If you receive an error for the name and SSN not matching for employees (or an employee’s dependent, if applicable) on a submission, refer to this FAQ for guidance on correcting this error.

For step-by-step instructions on submitting the ACA 1094 and 1095 forms and/or submitting corrected ACA 1094 and 1095 forms, view the appropriate tutorial below, or refer to the applicable topic in the Help File.
