Important Notes (Namely Specific)

The state of California requires ACA reporting to be sent electronically for California employees (i.e., any employees who resided in California at any time during that filing year.)



If you are filing with us, Namely will handle this on your behalf.



Use the ACA Reporting Wizard to file to meet the filing requirements of California.



Once the IRS reviews your submission and the status is either 'Accepted' or 'Accepted with Errors', Namely will transmit the reporting for your California employees.



If your submission is rejected, we will not send it to California. Only accepted submissions will be sent.

Reference our Washington, D.C., ACA Filing Requirement for specific details concerning this district

Employee-level details (seen in annual ACA submissions) are not required in the state-level filings by the IRS for employers with operations. Generally, this is completed by insurance carriers on behalf of individual employers. 

The state of New Jersey requires ACA reporting to be sent electronically for New Jersey employees (i.e., any employees who resided in New Jersey at any time during that filing year). 



Namely will handle this on your behalf if you are filing with us.



To ensure you're meeting New Jersey's requirements, file using the ACA Wizard in Namely as you would for the federal submission. 



Once the IRS reviews your submission, and it is ‘Accepted’ or ‘Accepted with Errors’, Namely will transmit the reporting for your New Jersey employees.

 

If your submission is rejected, we will not send it to New Jersey. 



Only accepted submissions will be sent. The ACA deadline for filing with the state of New Jersey is March 31, 2023.



For questions or support matters, please submit a case through the Namely Help Community.

Rhode Island does not allow the transmission of ACA information by third parties. For employers with workers in Rhode Island, a formatted file of their ACA information will be available for download in the ACA Wizard once the IRS accepts your submission. Upload this file to the state’s website. 



Employers of the state must offer minimum essential coverage to residents and submit state-level reporting to track compliance with the state’s shared responsibility provisions. Organizations must furnish the applicable 1095-Cs to their employees and file the returns to the state’s Division of Taxation (DOT). In addition to the federal IRS filing requirements, reporting to the DOT will meet the IRS furnishing requirements in order to fulfill the state mandate to provide a return to residents.
