In previous years, the IRS has extended the due date for specific Affordable Care Act (ACA) information reporting requirements for insurers, self-insured plan sponsors, and "applicable large employers" (ALEs). This year, the IRS has not issued an extended due date for furnishing Forms 1095-C and 1095-B to individuals. Instead, on November 22, 2021, they issued new proposed regulations which provide a permanent, automatic extension of the deadline for furnishing Forms 1095-C and 1095-B to individuals from January 31, 2022, to March 2, 2022. While these proposed regulations have not been finalized, employers can rely on these regulations beginning with the reporting year 2021.
