Employers should confirm whether their health plans’ prescription drug coverage is creditable or non-creditable and prepare to send their Medicare Part D disclosure notices by Oct. 14, 2017. To make the process easier, employers who send out open enrollment packets prior to Oct. 15 often include the Medicare Part D notices in these packets.
The creditable coverage disclosure notice must be provided to Medicare Part D-eligible individuals who are covered by, or who apply for, the health plan’s prescription drug coverage. An individual is eligible for Medicare Part D if he or she:
In general, an individual becomes entitled to Medicare Part A when he or she actually has Part A coverage, and not simply when he or she is first eligible. Medicare Part D-eligible individuals may include active employees, disabled employees, COBRA participants and retirees, as well as their covered spouses and dependents.
Prior to an individual’s initial enrollment period for Medicare Part D
If the creditable coverage disclosure notice is provided to all plan participants annually before Oct. 15 of each year, items (1) and (2) above will be satisfied. “Prior to,” as used above, means the individual must have been provided with the notice within the past 12 months. In addition to providing the notice each year before Oct. 15, plan sponsors should consider including the notice in plan enrollment materials provided to new hires.
Plan sponsors have flexibility in how they must provide their creditable coverage disclosure notices. The disclosure notices can be provided separately, or if certain conditions are met, they can be provided with other plan participant materials, like annual open enrollment materials. The notices can also be sent electronically in some instances.
As a general rule, a single disclosure notice may be provided to the covered Medicare beneficiary and all of his or her Medicare Part D-eligible dependents covered under the same plan. However, if it is known that any spouse or dependent who is eligible for Medicare Part D lives at a different address than where the participant materials were mailed, a separate notice must be provided to the Medicare-eligible spouse or dependent residing at a different address.
In addition, the guidance from CMS indicates that a plan sponsor may provide a disclosure notice electronically to retirees if the Medicare-eligible individual has indicated to the sponsor that he or she has adequate access to electronic information. According to CMS, before individuals agree to receive their information via electronic means, they must be informed of their right to obtain a paper version, how to withdraw their consent and update address information, and any hardware or software requirements to access and retain the creditable coverage disclosure notice.
Plan sponsors are also required to disclose to CMS whether their prescription drug coverage is creditable. The disclosure must be made to CMS on an annual basis, or upon any change that affects whether the coverage is creditable.
Plan sponsors are required to provide the disclosure notice to CMS through completion of the disclosure form on the CMS Creditable Coverage Disclosure webpage. This is the sole method for compliance with the CMS disclosure requirement, unless a specific exception applies.

IRS issues proposed regs on truncated SSNs
Posted by The Advantage Team on September 27, 2017
September 26, 2017 by Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory
The IRS has issued proposed regulations on truncated social security numbers. The IRS wants to aid employers’ efforts to protect employees from identity theft. The proposed regulations would amend existing regulations to permit employers to voluntarily truncate employees’ social security numbers (SSNs) on copies of Forms W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, that are furnished to employees so that the truncated SSNs appear in the form of IRS truncated taxpayer identification numbers (TTINs). In addition, the proposed regulations also would amend the regulations under Code Sec. 6109 to clarify the application of the truncation rules to Forms W-2 and to add an example illustrating the application of these rules.
Prior to being amended by the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015, Public Law No. 114-113, div. Q, title IV, 129 Stat. 2242, section 6051(a)(2) specifically required employers to include their employees’ SSNs on copies of Forms W- 2 that are furnished to employees. In addition, current regulations under §31.6051-1, as well as forms and instructions, require employers to include their employees’ SSNs on copies of Forms W-2 that are furnished to employees. Section 409 of the PATH Act amended section 6051(a)(2) by striking “his social security account number” from the list of information required on Form W-2 and inserting “an identifying number for the employee’ instead. This statutory amendment is effective for statements issued after December 18, 2015, the date that the PATH Act was signed into law. Because an SSN is no longer required by section 6051, the Treasury Department and the IRS propose amending the regulations to permit employers to truncate employees’ SSNs to appear in the form of TTINs on copies of Forms W-2 that are furnished to employees. If the proposed regulations are finalized without change, the IRS intends to incorporate the revised regulations into forms and instructions, permitting employers to use a TTIN on the employee copy of the Form W-2. See §301.6109-4(b)(2)(i) and (ii).
Pursuant to section 6051(d) and §31.6051-2(a) of this chapter, employer files the Social Security Administration copy of employee’s Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, with the Social Security Administration. Employer may not truncate any identifying number on the Social Security Administration copy. Pursuant to section 6051(a) and §31.6051-1(a)(1)(i) of this chapter, Employer furnishes copies of Form W-2 to employee. There are no applicable statutes, regulations, other published guidance, forms, or instructions that prohibit use of a TTIN on Form W-2, and §31.6051-1(a)(1)(i) specifically permits truncating employees’ SSNs. Accordingly, Employer may truncate Employee’s SSN to appear in the form of a TTIN on copies of Form W-2 furnished to Employee. Employer may not truncate its own employer identification number (EIN) on copies of Form W-2 furnished to Employee.
On April 5, year 1, a donor contributes a used car with a blue book value of $1100 to a charitable organization. On April 20, year 1, the charitable organization sends donor copies B and C of the Form 1098-C as a contemporaneous written acknowledgment of the $1100 contribution as required by section 170(f)(12). In late- February, year 2, the charitable organization prepares and files copy A of Form 1098-C with the IRS, reporting the donor’s donation of a qualified vehicle in year 1. The charitable organization may truncate the donor’s SSN to appear in the form of a TTIN in the Donor’s Identification Number box on copies B and C of the Form 1098-C because copies B and C of the Form 1098-C are documents required by the Internal Revenue Code and regulations to be furnished to another person; there are no applicable statutes, regulations, other published guidance, forms or instructions that prohibit the use of a TTIN on those copies; and there are no applicable statutes, regulations, other published guidance, forms, or instructions that specifically require use of an SSN or other identifying number on those copies. The charitable organization may not truncate its own EIN on copies B and C of the Form 1098-C because a person cannot truncate its own taxpayer identifying number on any statement or other document the person furnishes to another person. The charitable organization may not truncate any identifying number on copy A of the Form 1098-C because copy A is required to be filed with the IRS.
Written or electronic comments and requests for a public hearing must be received by December 18, 2017. Submissions should be sent to: CC:PA:LPD:PR (REG-105004-16), room 5203, Internal Revenue Service, P.O. Box 7604, Ben Franklin Station, Washington, DC 20044.

IRS issues record retention guidance due to Harvey

The IRS has reminded individuals and businesses to safeguard their tax records against natural disasters by taking a few simple steps. Taxpayers should always keep a duplicate set of records including bank statements, tax returns, identifications and insurance policies in a safe place such as a waterproof container, and away from the original set. Keeping an additional set of records is easier now that many financial institutions provide statements and documents electronically, and much financial information is available on the internet. Even if the original records are only provided on paper, these can be scanned into an electronic format.
Taxpayers are encouraged to save the scanned records to the cloud, or to other storage devices. Taxpayers are urged to photograph or videotape the contents of their homes, especially items of higher value. The IRS disaster loss workbooks and IRS Publication 584 can help taxpayers compile a room-by-room list of belongings. A photographic record can help taxpayers prove the fair market value of items for insurance and casualty loss claims. Ideally, photos should be stored with a friend or family member who lives outside the area. Emergency plans should be reviewed annually. Personal and business situations change over time. When employers hire new employees or when a company or organization changes functions, plans should be updated accordingly and employees should be informed of the changes.
Employers who use payroll service providers should ask the provider if it has a fiduciary bond in place. The bond could protect the employer in the event of default by the payroll service provider. If disaster strikes, affected taxpayers are encouraged to call 1-866-562-5227 to speak with an IRS specialist trained to handle disaster-related issues. Back copies of previously-filed tax returns and all attachments, including Forms W-2, can be requested by filing Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return. Alternatively, transcripts showing most line items on these returns can be ordered by calling 1-800-908-9946 or by using Form 4506T-EZ, Short Form Request for Individual Tax Return Transcript or Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return.

IRS warns tax professionals of W-2 email scam
Posted by The Advantage Team on September 5, 2017
The IRS has alerted tax professionals to a recent increase in email scams targeting employee Forms W-2. In 2017, the IRS witnessed a surge in the number of businesses, public schools, universities, tribal governments and nonprofits victimized by the W-2 scam increase to 200 from 50 in 2016. Those 200 victims translated into several hundred thousand employees whose sensitive data was stolen.
The scam occurs when a cybercriminal is able to “spoof” or impersonate a company or an organization executive’s email address and target a payroll, financial or human resources employee with a request. The criminals then file fraudulent tax returns that could mirror the actual income received by the employees, making the fraud more difficult to detect.
The IRS, state tax agencies and tax industry partners working together through the Security Summit have launched the 10-week Don’t Take the Bait campaign that is currently underway, highlighting the many tactics adopted by cybercriminals as well as the steps tax professionals can take to protect their clients and themselves from remote takeovers.

Unpaid Internships: Complying with DOL Guidelines
Posted by The Advantage Team on August 29, 2017
Unpaid internships are popular across the country, providing benefits for companies and valuable experience for college students or recent graduates. The Department of Labor (DOL) issued guidance in 2010 that addresses how internship programs must be structured to comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
A common misconception exists that if a student is willing to work for free to get industry experience, then there’s no harm in taking advantage of it. Unfortunately, this practice leaves many employers open to substantial legal liability. Make sure your unpaid internships meet DOL standards to help avoid significant penalties.
The 2010 guidance addresses unpaid internships under the FLSA, clarifying the determination of whether an intern is considered an employee (subject to minimum wage) or a trainee (legally eligible to perform unpaid work). These guidelines apply to for-profit, private sector employers. Unpaid internships in the public sector and for non-profit charitable organizations are generally permissible under the FLSA.
To determine whether an intern can be considered a trainee, the DOL lists six criteria that the internship must meet.
This can often be satisfied by having a student’s university sponsor and oversee the internship and offer course credit for its completion.
The intern does not displace regular employees, but instead works under the close supervision of existing staff
If the intern is working under the same supervision as regular employees, then the internship likely does not satisfy this condition.
The employer providing the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern and, on occasion, the employer’s operations may actually be impeded.
Though an incidental job offer at the conclusion of the internship is acceptable, the employer is generally not allowed to use unpaid internships as a “trial period” for potential future employees.
If all of these conditions are met, then an employment relationship does not exist under the FLSA and an unpaid internship is legally permissible. The DOL has issued a fact sheet on this topic.
Employers who are not in compliance with the DOL regulations face legal exposure, including penalties from the government and potential lawsuits. Penalties can include owing back pay, taxes not withheld, Social Security, unemployment benefits, interest, attorneys’ fees and liquidated damages (double the unpaid wages).
The following strategies can help your company’s unpaid internships stay compliant with federal law and meet the six criteria established by the DOL.
Work with the student’s university. The school will often sponsor the internship and may offer the student course credit. Coordinating with a university can help ensure that the internship is providing the necessary training to make it an educational experience for the student.
Make sure the intern is learning skills that are applicable in multiple job settings, rather than being specific to your company.
Consider allowing interns to observe various aspects of your company’s operations (for example, job shadowing) without always needing to engage in work.
Make clear before the internship begins what the responsibilities and expectations will be, that the internship is unpaid and that there is no expectation of a job offer once the internship is over. Keep records of these written expectations along with any other documentation that describes what the intern does, what training is available, what type of supervision is provided, etc.
If the internship program causes any disruption to your company or represents a time commitment for any of your employees, this should be documented as well. An unpaid internship that satisfies the DOL’s requirements should actually be somewhat of a drain on the employer due to the time put in for training and the lack of production coming from the intern.
If your company has unpaid interns, it is essential that you familiarize yourself with the DOL guidelines and make sure your program is in compliance as it could be costly for your company to get caught not complying.

Maybe you started your first job or maybe you gave up the freelance lifefor full-time employment. Whatever your scenario, if you find yourself filling out a W-4 for the first time, you may be a touch confused by all the fields, worksheets, and forms. Yes, the IRS can make things confusing. Let’s take it one step at a time.
Step One: Decide If You’re Exempt (You’re Probably Not)
When you start a new job as an employee, your new employer will give you a W-4. Your W-4 is a two-page IRS form that basically tells your employer how much money to take out of your paychecks to cover taxes. One of the first instructions on your W-4 is what to fill out if you’re exempt. But you’re probably not exempt.
Exempt means you’re not on the hook for taxes, so your employer won’t take anything out of your paycheck for federal income tax throughout the year (they’ll still take out money for Medicare and Social Security, though). If you are exempt, you’ll simply write “Exempt” on Line 7 of your W-4.
Generally, you can only claim exempt if you earn less than $10,350 for the entire year. If someone can claim you as a dependent and your earned income is $6,300 or below, you can claim exempt, too.
You definitely don’t want to file exempt if you’re not actually exempt, though. Again, you won’t have any federal income tax withheld from your paycheck. So when you do your taxes in April, you’ll have a giant tax bill that includes late payment penalties.
Step Two: Fill Out the Worksheets
The bulk of your W-4 is worksheets. There are three of them:
The Personal Allowances Worksheet (for everyone)
The Deductions and Adjustments Worksheet (for people with a bunch of deductions)
Two-Earners/Multiple Jobs Worksheet (for people with more than one job or married people who both work)
These worksheets give the IRS a general idea of your taxable income so they know much to withhold for taxes from every paycheck. If you don’t report a second income via the “Two-Earners” worksheet, for example, they might not withhold enough money throughout the year, which means you could end up owing the IRS money when you do your taxes in April.
Calculate Your Personal Allowances
The Personal Allowances worksheet is for everyone, and it’s straightforward. Your “personal allowances” basically represent your deductions. The more allowances you claim, the less money is withheld from your paycheck.
The worksheet guides you through how many you can claim, line-by-line. It’s pretty easy to figure out, but the IRS has a withholding calculator that can help you make sure you’re claiming the right amount of allowances, too. Roberg Tax Solutions suggests the following allowances, depending on your filing status:
You’ve got a job, only one job, you’re living on your own, and you’re single.SINGLE, ONE ALLOWANCE
You’re married and you both work—you’ll each have your own W-4 and they will be different. Spouse #1 with higher paying job—claim MARRIED and all the allowances for the family. Spouse #2 with the lower paying job—claim MARRIED BUT WITHHOLD AT HIGHER SINGLE RATE, ZERO ALLOWANCES
Once you have the total number you want to claim, you’ll enter that amount on Line H. It doesn’t have to be an exact science. You can claim more or fewer allowances if you like because, again, it’s just meant to get an idea of how much you should have taken out of your paycheck.
If you get a big tax refund every year, you might want to claim more allowances. A big tax refund generally means you’re overpaying your taxes throughout the year, so claiming more allowances can balance that out a bit. Your refund won’t be as big, but your paychecks will be bigger.
On the other hand, too many allowances and you might underpay your taxes. If you claim too many, you may not have enough tax withheld each pay period and you’ll end up owing money in April. It’s probably better to err on the side of overpaying and not claim too many personal allowances. You can always adjust this number later and turn in a new W-4, too.
From there, you have two more worksheets you may need to fill out: the Deductions and Adjustments Worksheet, and the Two-Earners/Multiple Jobs Worksheet.
Decide If You Need to Make Any Adjustments
This worksheet is for any tax deductions and credits that might lower your taxable income. This will give the IRS a more accurate idea of your tax liability so you don’t overpay throughout the year. In basic terms, if you take any major deductions or credits that lower your taxable income by a lot, you’ll want to fill out this form. If you itemize your deductions, you should definitely fill out the form. Many people just take the standard deduction because it’s easier, but Itemizing makes more sense if you have specific, large expenses you can deduct, like mortgage interest payments, charitable contributions, medical expenses, and so on. You might also have credits or other “income adjustments” for things like a IRA contributions, alimony expenses, or student loan interest.
The worksheet instructs you to visit Publication 505 to see all of the credits you might be eligible for, but the IRS has a handy withholding calculator that’ll walk you through the process. The calculator will tell you your total itemized deductions along with your adjustments to income, which makes it really easy to fill out this worksheet.
Fill out “Two-Earners” If Your Household Has More Than One Income
You’ll use this worksheet if you have two jobs or if you’re married and your spouse has a job, too. The goal of this worksheet is to calculate how much extra you should have withheld from your paycheck, based on the amount of that second income.
This worksheet is pretty easy to follow, though. First, if you filled out the “Deductions and Adjustments” worksheet, you’ll enter your total from that worksheet on Line 1 of this one. From there, use the two tables at the bottom of the worksheet to fill in Lines 2-9. Table 1 is for the lowest paying job and Table 2 is for the highest paying job. These tables help you find your allowances based on both your incomes.
Each line of the worksheet is just basic math to calculate the additional amount you’ll have withheld from each paycheck, and you’ll enter this amount on Line 9.
Step Three: Fill Out Your W-4
Once your worksheets are completed, it’s time to fill in the blanks of your actual W-4 Form. Lines 1-4 are pretty standard stuff: your name, address, social security number, and tax filing status. In Line 5, you’ll enter the number you calculated from Line H of your Personal Allowances Worksheet UNLESS you filled out the Deductions and Adjustments Worksheet, then you’ll enter the number you calculated from Line 10 of that.
And if you filled out the Two-Earners Worksheet, find the amount you calculated in Line 9 of that worksheet, then write that amount in Line 6 of your W-4.
From there, you’ll sign your worksheet and hand it over to your employer. And that’s it! You should have just the right amount withheld from your paycheck. You won’t owe a bunch of money in April but you won’t get a huge refund, either.
Whenever you run into any major life changes, you’ll want to update this form, too. Obviously, if you get a new job, you’ll fill out a new one, but if you get married, have a kid, or get a second job, you’ll ask for a new W-4, then adjust accordingly.
