ACA Pre-Filing
Before filing, there are several pre-filing tasks you’ll need to do. Pre-filing means identifying part-time employees, setting up and assigning an offer of coverage, and entering employer ACA information. The information you enter during pre-filing is used to file the 1094–C and 1095–C forms required for ACA reporting at year-end.
The ACA landing page guides you through each required pre-filing step. To make year-end filing easier, you can track and update this information each month.
For details about the 1094–C and 1095–C forms, go to https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i109495c. For filing information, see ACA Filing.
