How to fill out pay or play program

How to fill out pay or play program:

1. Determine if your business qualifies for the program. The pay or play program applies to employers who have 50 or more full-time equivalent employees.
2. Calculate the number of full-time equivalent employees. This includes both full-time and part-time employees, each counted proportionately based on their hours worked.
3. Determine if your business is a large employer or a small employer. Large employers are those that have an average of at least 50 full-time equivalent employees during the previous calendar year, while small employers have fewer than 50 full-time equivalent employees.
4. If you are a large employer, you must offer affordable health coverage to your full-time employees and their dependents. This coverage must meet minimum value standards and have minimum essential coverage.
5. If you choose not to offer health coverage or if the coverage you offer does not meet the required standards, you may be subject to a penalty known as the employer shared responsibility payment.
6. If you are a small employer, you are not required to offer health coverage to your employees. However, you may be eligible for the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit if you choose to provide health insurance.
7. Understand the reporting requirements. Employers who are subject to the pay or play program must report information about the health coverage they offer to their employees on Form 1095-C.
8. Ensure that you accurately complete Form 1095-C for each employee. This includes providing information about the coverage offered, the cost of the coverage, and whether or not the employee enrolled in the coverage.
9. File Form 1095-C with the IRS. This form is due by January 31 of the year following the calendar year in which the coverage was offered.
10. Keep records of the health coverage offered and any documentation related to the pay or play program. These records may be requested by the IRS during an audit.
