The fees are reported and paid annually using [IRS form 720](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f720.pdf). The fees are due by July 31st of each year. PCORI fees for plan years ending in 2020 are due August 2, 2021, because July 31st falls on a Saturday. In 2019, a spending bill extended PCORI fees for another 10 years. As a result, these fees will continue to apply for the 2020-2029 fiscal years.
