The IRS recently issued Notice 2019-63 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.
