Businesses subject to ACA tracking and reporting requirements have several deadlines to meet if they want to be in ACA compliance. There are deadlines for furnishing forms to employees and for filing forms to the IRS. The IRS permanently provided an automatic 30-day extension from the Jan. 31 due date for Applicable Large Employers (ALEs) to provide forms 1095-C to applicable employees.

The deadline for ACA filing of all paper forms with the IRS remains Feb. 28. However, the deadline is March 31, if filing electronically. The due date is the next business day if it falls on a weekend or legal holiday. It should be noted that all employers with 250 or more returns to file must do so electronically.
