Equifax Workforce Solutions and Intuit to Highlight ACA IRS Reporting Requirements in Upcoming Webinar

ATLANTA, May 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

DETAILS:

It is 2015, and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provisions that require employers to provide affordable health coverage to full-time employees are in full effect. However, the stakes remain high as employers consider and prepare for the next major mandates. Organizations and their employees can face penalties if employers fail to comply with IRS reporting regulations for Form 1095, the so-called "W-2 of benefits."

During this educational webinar, Kristin Lewis, product strategy and management leader for Equifax Workforce Solutions, will join Paul Jordan, business development and product strategy leader for Intuit®, to detail the new reporting requirements and how organizations can prepare before 1095s are due to employees in January 2016. Jordan will share results of Intuit's pilot program, conducted with employers to test data accuracy, and provide insight on employee feedback after receiving Form 1095s. Drawing on Equifax experience of working with hundreds of employers to manage ACA compliance, Lewis will share best practices and connect the dots between IRS reporting and employee subsidies. Session attendees will hear real-case examples that outline the challenges, illuminate common errors and detail how organizations can maximize efficiencies and reduce risk associated with IRS reporting under the ACA.

Attendees: HR, payroll and tax professionals and business leaders interested in learning more about the latest reporting requirements and best practices for managing ACA compliance are encouraged to attend this informative session.
