ACA Tracking Software – Ease the Burden of Compliance
The Affordable Care Act requires companies with 50+ full-time equivalents to provide affordable coverage to their qualifying employees and comply with end of year reporting to the IRS.
For those administrators tracking the ACA themselves, it’s important to understand the law as early as possible in order to comply year-round.
Waiting to track data until reporting season may be too late to avoid some penalties.
Passport Software’s ACA tracking software helps you avoid penalties and maintain compliance year-round.
And, our ACA software is cost-effective. Optional integrated payroll software is available.
HR professionals and accountants have not necessarily been trained in ACA compliance. ACA reporting is a record keeping process, not actually an accounting method.
Understanding the ACA requires very specific knowledge, and it’s important to track data on a monthly basis throughout the year in order to avoid penalties.
Here are some tips for tracking employee status:
If you own more than one business and an employee works for more than one of your companies, their work hours must be combined in order to identify their full or part-time status.
Monitoring variable hour employees can be a challenge, and it becomes more difficult when employees routinely trade shifts. Restaurant and food service operations are especially vulnerable, as well as businesses with seasonal workers or hours.
In cases where an employee works for more than one common ownership EIN, the IRS has very specific instructions on handling the multiple 1095-Cs for that employee: On a month-by-month basis, the company where most of the hours were performed should report the actual coverage information in Part 2. Any other companies should code the employee as if they were not employed for that month. This method is repeated each month. Doing this by hand would be tedious, but our software handles it automatically.
