Step 1: Learn about the Affordable Care Act reporting requirements.

Step 2: Examine your employee count for the previous calendar year to determine whether you are an “Applicable Large Employer” (ALE).

  • The large employer requirement is generally 50 full time or full-time equivalents; however, there are situations that impact this such as hours worked, participation in a controlled or aggregate group, seasonal workers, and transitions for new employers. Be sure to review the IRS requirements carefully.


Step 3: Determine which ACA form you'll be required to submit for this calendar year.
