WHY WAS 6055 & 6056 REPORTING REQUIREMENT ADDED TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE?

3

In simple terms, the individual mandate is the part of the lawthat says all individuals are required to have minimum essentialhealth coverage; much like the fact that every registered vehiclemust be insured.

Employer shared responsibility is the part that states certainlarge employers are required to offer affordable minimumessential health coverage to its employees, OR pay a fee to thegovernment who will then make it available through theexchanges.

THE CODE SECTIONS

The Affordable Care Act added section 6055 to the Internal RevenueCode, requiring every provider of minimum essential coverage toreport coverage information by filing an information return with theIRS and furnishing a statement to individuals (employees). Thisinformation is used by the IRS to administer and ensure compliancewith the individual shared responsibility provision.

Section 6056 of the Internal Revenue Code, requires applicable largeemployers to file information returns with the IRS and providestatements to their full-time employees about the health insurancecoverage the employer offered.

A full-timeemployee for this purpose is an employee who is employed on average at least30 hours per week. A monthly equivalent of 130 hours may be used if it isapplied on a reasonable and consistent basis.
