Prepare for 2025 ACA Reporting Deadlines: Key Dates and Tips

Attention HR professionals! If your organization is subject to Affordable Care Act (ACA) reporting, it’s time to gear up for the upcoming deadlines. Staying compliant with IRS regulations is crucial and knowing the timelines can help you avoid last-minute stress.  

What to know for 2024 calendar year reporting 

• Electronic filing deadline: File returns electronically by March 31. Filing on paper? The deadline was Feb. 28. Remember, employers filing 10 or more returns must do so electronically.  

• Individual statements: Statements were required to be furnished upon request by Jan. 31 or within 30 days of receiving the request, whichever is later. Alternatively, employers needed to submit statements by March 3 if they chose not to follow the on-request distribution method. 

Additionally, a notice with information on obtaining these statements should have been posted on your website by March 3.
