2023 ACA IRS ERRORS

Hello,

If you opted CertiPay to electronically submit your ACA Forms 1094-C and 1095-C to the IRS for the 2023 reporting year, all your ACA files were received and accepted by the IRS, however, the IRS may have identified errors that will need to be reviewed and corrected for applicable clients.

To determine if any errors were associated with your ACA submission, please go to https://app.certipay.com to access your documents from the top toolbar, click on the apps icon, and click the Documents icon. Select "2023 Quarter 4” and click on "2023-ACA (1094C and/or 1095C) Return Errors". See the below PDF to determine what may have caused the error and how to proceed.

*Important:

If there are no documents labeled as such, then you have no errors that need to be addressed for 2023 ACA Reporting.

The most common 1095-C error identified is due to a TIN validation error for the employee's name and/or SSN not matching the SSA database. The IRS requires corrections to be made for employees in question and can potentially assess penalties for those who are not corrected timely.

This can happen for various reasons, including:

• The employee's SSN is incorrect.

• There was a change to the employee's legal name due to marriage/divorce that was not updated with the SSA.

• The employee's legal name as it appears on their social security card does not match exactly how it appears on their CertiPay profile.

Additional information regarding TIN errors can be found at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1586.pdf or https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/i109495c--dft.pdf located on page 5.

**CertiPay urges you to correct all errors identified by the IRS in order to avoid future penalties**
