ACA Application Process for TCC

Before e-filing, you must procure your company's Transmitter Control Code (TCC) and register through the Affordable Care Act Information Returns (AIR) program. The registration process will generate the login credentials necessary to submit the ACA Information Returns electronically.

Each company filing ACA Returns should have a separate TCC number.

The Transmitter Control Code (TCC) application is available on IRS.gov. Ensure that the registration, TCC application, and pre-filing activities are complete. You will also need to complete a one-time AIR System communications test by submitting a test file to the IRS AIR System.

Refer to the IRS publications 5164, 5165, and to the IRS Affordable Care Act Information Returns (AIR) Program for more information.
