The IRS recently issued [Notice 2019-63](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-19-63.pdf) which makes some changes to 2019 ACA reporting.

- The due date for distributing forms under Sections 6055 and 6056 has been extended from January 31, 2020 to March 2, 2020.
- Good-faith transition relief has been extended to those employers who have provided incorrect or incomplete information but have made good-faith efforts to comply with Sections 6055 and 6056 reporting requirements.
- Additional penalty relief has also been given to those distributing 2019 forms to individuals under Section 6055. Employers will only need to provide Form 1095-B to covered individuals upon request.

The due date for filing forms with the IRS for 2019 is still February 28, 2020 (filing paper) or March 31, 2020 (filing electronically).
