 IRS Reporting Extension

The IRS recently announced extended deadlines for 2016 Minimum Essential Coverage (Section 6055) and Large Employer Shared Responsibility (Section 6056) reporting to individuals. The new deadline is as follows, and applies to Applicable Large Employers (ALEs, generally companies with an average of at least 50 full-time equivalent employees) and insurers. 

2016 Forms to Individuals Original Deadline New Deadline
Form 1095-B (by HMAA)
Form 1095-C (by ALEs)		 January 31, 2017 March 2, 2017

Applicable Large Employers are encouraged to provide the form to individuals as soon as possible, but no later than March 2, 2017. Individuals who file their 2016 federal income tax returns before receiving their 1095-B and 1095-C forms will not be required to amend their income tax returns once they receive their forms, but should keep those forms with their tax records.

It is important to note that the IRS has not extended the due date for filing 2016 Forms 1094-C or 1095-C to the IRS. The deadline remains February 28, 2017 via paper or March 31, 2017 electronically.

If you requested data from HMAA to help prepare these tax forms, our data files will be available to you around January 3, 2017. 


 
 Access Care through HiDoc during the Holiday Season
When HMAA members access care through HiDoc, they do not have to spend time in a waiting room or deal with transportation or other barriers. Instead, they can see a doctor at any time over the phone or online for commonly treated conditions such as the flu or allergies. There is no out-of-pocket cost, and you can be seen in as little as 30 minutes! All you need is a telephone, mobile device, or computer to connect with a doctor.
