Compliance requirements depend on your business size, employee count, and plan type. Small employers (under 50 employees) have fewer requirements, while large employers must comply with ACA employer mandate provisions. All plans must meet ERISA requirements if they're employee welfare benefit plans.
You may qualify if you have 25 or fewer full-time equivalent employees, pay average wages below specified thresholds, and contribute at least 50% of employee premium costs. The credit may require purchasing coverage through the SHOP marketplace.
Large employers may face penalties of several thousand dollars per employee annually for not offering coverage, or smaller per-employee penalties for offering coverage that doesn't meet affordability or minimum value standards. Penalties are assessed monthly and calculated annually.
Yes, employer contributions to employee health insurance premiums are generally deductible as ordinary business expenses. Self-employed individuals may also deduct health insurance premiums under special self-employed health insurance deduction rules.
You need plan documents, summary plan descriptions, employee communications, Form 5500 filings, ACA reporting forms, premium payment records, and documentation supporting any tax credits or deductions claimed.
Cafeteria plans allow employees to pay for benefits with pre-tax dollars, reducing their taxable income and saving both income and FICA taxes. Employers also save on FICA taxes for the pre-tax benefit amounts.
Plan sponsors must act prudently, operate plans for exclusive benefit of participants, follow plan documents, monitor fees, avoid conflicts of interest, and ensure proper plan administration and participant communications.
Federal and state regulations change regularly. The ACA introduced significant changes, and ongoing guidance continues to clarify requirements. Tax laws also change annually, affecting credits and deductions. Regular monitoring is essential.
Compliance software can automate ACA reporting, track employee eligibility, manage deadlines, store documents, and integrate with payroll systems. Benefits administration platforms often include compliance features and audit trails.
Given the complexity and penalty exposure, most businesses benefit from working with experienced professionals including benefits consultants, tax advisors, and legal counsel familiar with employee benefits compliance requirements.
