The Internal Revenue System says employers can now do a trial run of their electronic form filing for reporting requirements under the Affordable Care Act, giving nervous employers and their benefit advisers a way to test for readiness in advance of the reporting deadlines.
The IRS has recently opened up its Affordable Care Act Assurance Testing system which allows employers to see if their reporting software is correctly filling out the 2014 Forms 1094 and 1095. In November, the testing system will be cued up with the 2015 reporting forms.
