Field | Description |
---|---|
Qualifying Offer Method |
Select this check box if the employer is eligible to use and is using the Qualifying Offer Method to report the information on Form 1095–C for one or more full-time employees. According to the IRS instructions, to be eligible to use the Qualifying Offer Method, the employer must certify that it made a Qualifying Offer to one or more of its full-time employees for all months during the year in which the employee was a full-time employee for whom an employer shared responsibility payment could apply. If the employer reports using this method, it must not complete on Form 1095-C, Part II, line 15, for any month for which a Qualifying Offer is made. Instead, it must enter the Qualifying Offer code 1A on Form 1095-C, line 14, to indicate that the employee received a Qualifying Offer for all 12 months (in which case the employer must not, for any month, report the dollar amount on line 15). An employer is not required to use the Qualifying Offer Method, even if it is eligible and instead may enter on line 14 the applicable offer code and on line 15 the dollar amount required as an employee contribution for the lowest-cost employee-only coverage providing minimum value for that month. If the employer is eligible to use the Qualifying Offer Method, it may report on Form 1095–C by entering the Qualifying Offer code 1A on Form 1095–C, line 14, for any month for which it made a Qualifying Offer to an employee, even if the employee did not receive a Qualifying Offer for all 12 calendar months. However, if employee receives a Qualifying Offer for less than all 12 months, the employer must furnish a copy of Form 1095-C to the employee unless the Qualifying Offer Method Transition Relief described later applies for 2015. |
Reserved/Qualifying Offer Method Transition Relief |
Note: If the reporting information is for a calendar year after
2015, this field is disabled and labeled
Reserved since it is no longer applicable.
Select this check box if the employer is eligible for and is using the Qualifying Offer Method Transition Relief for the 2015 calendar year to report information on Form 1095-C for one or more full-time employees. According to IRS instructions, to be eligible to use the Qualifying Offer Method Transition Relief, the employer must certify that it made a Qualifying Offer for one or more months of calendar year 2015 to at least 95% of its full-time employees. For this purpose, an employee in a Limited Non-Assessment Period is not included in the 95% calculation. If an employer reports using this method, it must not complete Form 1095-C, Part II, line 15, for any month for which a Qualifying Offer is made or for which Qualifying Offer Method Transition Relief applies. An employer that reports using this method must enter on Form 1095–C, line 14, either the Qualifying Offer code 1A for any months for which the employee received a Qualifying Offer, or the Qualifying Offer Method Transition Relief code 1I for any months for which the employee did not receive a Qualifying Offer. An employer is not required to use this method, even if it is eligible and the employer may report on line 14 the applicable offer code and on line 15 the dollar amount required as an employee contribution for the lowest-cost employee-only coverage providing minimum value for that month. An employer may not, for any month, use code 1A or code 1I and also report the dollar amount on line 15. |
Reserved/Section 4980H Transition Relief |
Note: If the reporting information is for a calendar year after
2016, this field is disabled and labeled
Reserved since it is no longer applicable.
Select this check box if the employer is eligible for section 4980H Transition Relief under either:
For a description of the relief, including which employers are eligible for the relief, see Section 4980H Transition Relief for 2015 of the IRS Instructions for Forms 1094-C and 1095-C. If you select this check box, you must also complete Form 1094-C, Part III, column (e), Section 4980H Transition Relief Indicator, to indicate the type of section 4980H transition relief for which it is eligible. |
98% Offer Method |
Check this box if the employer is eligible for and is using the 98% Offer Method. According to the IRS instructions, to be eligible to use the 98% Offer Method, an employer must certify that taking into account all months during which the individuals were employees of the employer and were not in a Limited Non-Assessment Period, the employer offered, affordable health coverage providing minimum value to at least 98% of its employees for whom it is filing a Form 1095-C employee statement, and offered minimum essential coverage to those employees’ dependents. The employer is not required to identify which of the employees for whom it is filing were full-time employees, but the employer is still required, under the general reporting rules, to file Forms 1095-C on behalf of all its full-time employees who were full-time employees for one or more months of the calendar year. To ensure compliance with the general reporting rules, an employer should confirm for any employee for whom it fails to file a Form 1095-C that the employee was not a full-time employee for any month of the calendar year. (For this purpose, the health coverage is affordable if the employer meets one of the section 4980H affordability safe harbors.) Example of Employer Eligible for 98% Offer Method An employer has 325 employees. Out of the 325 employees, the employer identifies 25 employees as not possibly being full-time employees because they are scheduled to work 10 hours per week and are not eligible for additional hours. Out of the remaining 300 employees, 295 are offered affordable minimum value coverage for all periods during which they are employed other than any applicable waiting period (which qualifies as a Limited Non-Assessment Period). The employer files a Form 1095-C for each of the 300 employees (excluding the 25 employees that it identified as not possibly being full-time employees). The employer may use the 98% Offer Method because it makes an affordable offer of coverage that provides minimum value to at least 98% of the employees for whom Employer files a Form 1095-C. Using this method, the employer does not identify whether each of the 300 employees is a full-time employee. However, the employer must still file a Form 1095-C for all of its full-time employees. The employer chooses to file a Form 1095-C on behalf of all 300 employees, including the five employees to whom it did not offer coverage, because if one or more of those employees was, in fact, a full-time employee for one or more months of the calendar year, the employer would be required to have filed a Form 1095-C on behalf of those employees. |
