- Updated November 05, 2024 - 8.00 AM by Admin, ACAwise

The IRS issued a Final Form 1095-B/1095-C for 2025 ACA reporting.

Like every year, this year also the IRS has updated its ACA forms to improve the reporting of employees' health coverage information.

So, before initiating the process of your ACA Reporting for 2025, you must be aware of the changes in the Form and the deadline.

What's new in 2025 ACA 1095-B/C?

From the final version of 1095-C and Form 1095-B, it is clear that there is no addition of codes or changes for 2024 ACA reporting.

New E-filing Requirements for 1095-B/C Forms

The electronic-filing threshold for information returns has been decreased to 10 for 2024 tax year. If your business has 10 or more returns, then you need to e-file your ACA forms with the IRS. This means even the smallest businesses will need to e-file.

ICHRA Affordability:

  • Based on the federal poverty line percentage, the IRS has set the ICHRA affordability percentage for the 2024 tax year as 8.39%.

Penalties:

  • Under Section 4980H(a) - the penalty rate is $2,970 for the tax year 2024
  • Under Section 4980H(b) - the penalty rate is $4,460 for the tax year 2024
