The Affordable Care Act
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare, was enacted in 2010 to drive better health outcomes, lower costs of healthcare coverage, and improve hospitals' and physicians' methods of distribution and accessibility.
Difficulties Employers Face with ACA Compliance
There are many difficulties employers face attempting to remain compliant with the ACA. Not only are they required to take on potentially new expenses to provide insurance, they must ensure it's affordable and offered to each full-time employee, including variable hour employees.
Additionally, they need to report the coverage offered for each employee each year to the IRS, similar to how they report employees' salaries on W-2 Forms. That's why ACAwise not only supports simple, secure e-filing for Forms 1094 and 1095, but also provides ACA compliance tracking features to ensure users remain compliant with the IRS.
