In 2018, however, Congress passed tax legislation that reduced the ACA individual mandate penalty to $0 effective January 1, 2019. That action prompted several states, including California, to adopt their own individual mandate penalty on state residents who do not maintain health coverage. Thus, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, California requires residents and their dependents to whom no exemption applies to obtain and maintain qualified health coverage or pay a state penalty. Q: What do Dealers need to file?A: Draft FTB Publication 3895C instructs employers to provide the FTB with copies of the IRS Forms 1094-C (Transmittal of Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage Information Returns) and 1095-C (Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage) that applicable large employers (ALE) and self-funded plan sponsors must file with the IRS under ACA rules. There are no separate California health coverage reporting forms. The draft guidance instructs employers who must file corrected federal Forms 1094-C not to file corrected forms with the FTB. However, the FTB will require employers who must file corrected federal Forms 1095-C to also file copies of the corrected forms with the FTB as soon as possible after discovering an error. The FTB guidance also informs employers that if they already provide a federal individual statement (Form 1095-C) to full-time employees by the January 31 following the year for which they are reporting, they do not need to provide a separate information statement for California reporting purposes.Q: Who must file?A: The FTB notes that employers that offer group health coverage through an insured plan or multiemployer plan generally will not need to file with the FTB. In those cases, the insurance carrier or multiemployer plan sponsor typically will file the appropriate forms with the FTB. Employers with insured group health plans should check with their carriers to be sure they are aware of, and will comply with, the new California reporting requirements. If a carrier plans not to send the appropriate forms to the FTB, the affected employer should be sure to file. Self-insured group health plan sponsors already complete Parts I, II and III of Form 1095-C for federal ACA filing, and they should submit copies of the same forms to the FTB. Employers that sponsor self-insured group health plans must report information about each individual enrolled in that coverage. This information should appear in Part III of Form 1095-C, so California employers should have no separate recordkeeping burdens to comply with the California law. The current draft instructions also state that self-funded plan sponsors who offer group health coverage to an individual who declines the coverage do not need to submit Form 1095-C to the FTB. Q: When is the filing deadline?A: The deadline for filing the required forms with the FTB is March 31 following the year for which coverage is being reported. At least for 2020 forms due by March 31, 2021, California has granted all filers a two-month extension. Thus, the deadline for the first round of California health coverage reporting is May 31, 2021, although employers and carriers can submit forms prior to the deadline.Q: What are the penalties to the employer/dealership?A: The FTB will assess against employers who fail to properly file coverage reports a penalty of $50 per individual included on a required return. For example, an employer who fails to report for an employee and two dependents will face a $150 penalty.Conclusion2021 will be the first year in which employers must file forms with the FTB to document offers of group health coverage to their employees and dependents. The new filing process should be fairly straightforward since the FTB requires employers to file only copies of the forms they already file with the IRS. Employers who sponsor fully insured group health plans should coordinate FTB filings with their carriers. Employers who sponsor self-funded group health plans should visit the FTB reporting website to familiarize themselves with the required reporting procedures.
