Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

    OMB Number: 1545-2251.
    Type of Review: New Collection.
    Title: Information Reporting by Applicable Large Employers on 
Health Insurance Coverage Offered Under Employer-Sponsored Plans (TD 
9661--Final)
    Abstract: This collection effort contains documents providing 
guidance to employers that are subject to the information reporting 
requirements under section 6056 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code), 
enacted by the Affordable Care Act (generally employers with at least 
50 full-time employees, including full-time equivalent employees). 
Section 6056 requires those employers to report to the IRS information 
about the health care coverage, if any, they offered to full-time 
employees, in order to administer the employer shared responsibility 
provisions of section 4980H of the Code.
    Section 6056 also requires employers to furnish related statements 
to their employees. These statements to employees may be used to 
determine whether, for each month of the calendar year, the employee 
may claim on their individual tax returns a premium tax credit under 
section 36B (premium tax credit). The regulations provide for a general 
reporting method and alternative reporting methods designed to simplify 
and reduce the cost of reporting for employers subject to the 
information reporting requirements under section 6056.
    IRC Sec.  6055 states beginning in January 2015, Health Insurance 
Marketplaces will be required to provide end of year information 
reporting in the form of information returns. IRC Sec.  6056 states all 
insurance providers issuing Minimal Essential Coverage and Applicable 
Large Employers will have the option to begin voluntarily transmitting 
information returns to meet ACA information reporting requirements in 
2015; however, these requirements will become mandatory in January 
2016, for the 2015 Tax Year. Section 6011(e)(2)(A) of the Internal 
Revenue Code provides that any person, including a corporation, 
partnership, individual, estate, or trust, who is required to file

250 or more information returns, must file such returns electronically.
    For the voluntary year of reporting, the burden estimates for each 
form are listed below.
