The ACA reporting rules

Employee delivery changed. IRS reporting still matters.

Federal rules now allow employers to meet certain Form 1095-C employee furnishing requirements through a timely website notice and delivery upon request, if the conditions are met. But eligible employers still need to report coverage information to the IRS. Greenshades helps bring form review, filing, and recipient distribution into one year-end process.

How it works with Greenshades

From coverage data to filed ACA forms

  1. Bring in your ACA data

    Import employee and coverage information from Excel or a supported system. If you use Greenshades Benefits Administration, connected eligibility and enrollment data can help prepare year-end reporting.

  2. Review and correct

    Review employee details, coverage offers, months of coverage, and applicable reporting codes. Make adjustments to supported form data before submission.

  3. Prepare your filing

    Generate and review 1095-C forms and the related 1094-C employer transmittal information. Check required fields and totals before filing.

  4. E-file and manage copies

    Submit supported ACA reporting electronically to the IRS and manage employee copies through available digital and print distribution options, as needed.

Why Greenshades

ACA filing that fits your process

Work with your data

Use Greenshades Year-End Forms without replacing your payroll system. Import ACA data from supported sources instead of recreating every record by hand.

Connect eligibility and filing

If you manage benefits in Greenshades, year-round eligibility and enrollment information can feed into 1095-C preparation. Standalone filers can import their own data.

Handle state-specific requirements

Some states require separate ACA reporting. Manage applicable state-level 1095-C submissions and keep up with differing reporting requirements.

Keep filing and distribution in one workflow

Manage filing status, employee copies, and archived year-end records in one place rather than separate tools.

Related coverage reporting

Greenshades also supports Form 1095-B where applicable. Reporting duties depend on employer size, plan structure, and coverage provided.
