District of Columbia ACA Reporting - An Overview
After Congress eliminated the federal individual mandate penalty under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the district of Columbia mandated the reporting of ACA Forms from June 30, 2020, to help individuals cut costs at chronic conditions.
The D.C. law requires every employer who provides “Minimum Essential Coverage” to at least one D.C. resident during the calendar year must submit their ACA reporting to the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) every year.
Who must file ACA Forms with the District of Columbia?
Any business operating in or out of D.C. that employs DC residents must file the same information found in the 1094 and 1095-B/C federal Forms to the D.C Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) electronically through MyTaxDC.
- Employers offering fully insured plans, are responsible for filing 1094 / 1095-C and to the D.C. OTR electronically and furnish 1095-C copies to their employees. Usually, insurance carriers will distribute ACA 1095-B Forms to these employees. If their insurance carrier fails to do this, employers must fulfill these obligations to avoid facing penalties.
- Employers offering self-insured plans are responsible for submitting 1094 and 1095-B / 1095-C to the D.C. OTR and distributing the written statements about the coverage to their covered D.C. residents.
