Certified Payroll Reporting offers a host of solutions for contractors
Due to the complexity of the process, utilizing a reputable software vendor to file your 1094/1095 data electronically with the IRS is considered to be a best practice. One reason for this is that if it turns out that there’s a problem with some of your ACA data, the IRS doesn’t necessarily make it easy to figure out what went wrong. The best you will get as feedback from the agency is a series of cryptic error codes that you’ll have to decipher in order to discover the problems that they identified with your transmission.

What are IRS Error Codes and what you need to do about them?

Each IRS Error Code is related to a specific mistake or set of mistakes in your filing. In most of the cases, these can be corrected by making minor changes to your filing. For that, you need to make sure that you correctly interpret the IRS Error Codes and make changes accordingly. Sometimes this can consume a lot of time and can be quite difficult to execute if done in a conventional way. The best way to tackle these challenges is to consider investing in a smart and innovative solution for your e-filing.

What kind of e-filing you should invest in?

When considering a software vendor to handle your ACA e-filing, it’s a good idea to make sure that they’re knowledgeable about the IRS e-Filing process so they can identify and eliminate any errors before the forms are e-filed. They should also be able to translate the IRS error codes into actionable items for you to correct.

What are some of the common IRS Error Codes?

The table below includes some of the most common ACA IRS error codes and their explanations. Again, most of these should be handled by the software solution before the forms are e-filed to avoid corrections as well as outright filing rejections from the IRS.

These error codes from the IRS are anything but simple, and attempting to figure them out without the assistance of an ACA solution can be daunting. Utilizing a reputable software vendor that understands these error codes (as well as the many other errors that could potentially occur with e-filing) will take a whole lot of guesswork out of a very complex process.
