Check 3

Confirm last year’s filings were accepted, then plan this year’s.

The IRS is sending notices to employers whose Forms 1094-C and 1095-C it has not received, and it is enforcing payments for earlier years.

A quick check now avoids a notice later. Send us your renewal and we will give you a second opinion in writing.

What to know

Three things to do.

Check acceptance

If you filed electronically, confirm acceptance with the IRS receipt ID for last year’s returns.

Plan for e-filing

Prepare to file electronically in 2027. Check the current IRS e-filing threshold for your return count.

Review your codes

Make sure the affordability code you plan to report matches the test you ran. See what Form 1095-C reports.
