ROCK HILL, SC / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / Since Congress voted to eliminate the Federal Individual Mandate, and effectively did so beginning in tax year 2019, many states have adopted state individual mandates. Now, Applicable Large Employers must meet ACA reporting requirements with both the IRS and their state agency.
To alleviate the additional stress of state mandated ACA Reporting, ACAwise supports filing with the following states:
