Electronic Filing of ACA Information Returns

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne supports electronic submission of Forms 1094-C and 1095-C. It does not support paper filing of ACA Information Returns to the IRS. The system only supports printing Form 1095-C for employees/recipients.

As per the IRS electronic filing requirement, if you have to file 250 or more Form 1095-Cs, you must submit your returns electronically. The IRS encourages you to file electronically even if you are filing less than 250 forms.

Publication 5165, Guide for Electronically Filing Affordable Care Act (ACA) Information Returns (AIR) for Software Developers and Transmitters (Processing Year 2016), outlines the transmission formats, business rules, and validation procedures for filing AIR returns electronically through the AIR system.

You can use the guidelines provided in Pub. 5165 along with the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Schemas published on IRS.gov.
