The rules state certain employers must provide information to the IRS about the health plan coverage they offer to their employees. ** ** ## **Deadline for Filing 2022 Returns** Entitles that file at least 250 individual statements under Sections 6055 or 6056 must file electronically. The electronic filing deadline for 2022 returns is March 31, 2023.   ## **New Filing Rules for 2024** The IRS recently released a [final rule](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/02/23/2023-03710/electronic-filing-requirements-for-specified-returns-and-other-documents) which lowers the 250-return threshold for mandatory electronic reporting to 10. This means that most reporting entities will be required to complete their ACA reporting electronically starting in 2024.   ## **Next Steps** Employers may want to begin to explore their options. Some may be able to work with a third-party vendor or do the process themselves. For those taking the task on themselves, the IRS has a [webpage](https://www.irs.gov/e-file-providers/affordable-care-act-information-returns-air) which provides more information on the reporting standards for composing and successfully transmitting compliant submissions.
