If you are an Applicable Large Employer and approved ACA reporting by Feb. 21, 2024, transmission of your 2023 ACA filings is complete! ACA Reporting is filed under your unique FEIN. After transmission to the IRS, it is possible for your filing to come back with a status of “Accepted with Errors”. In most cases, these can be resolved by transmitting a correction to the IRS.
