The IRS Releases Sample of Letter 226J
As we reported this week, the IRS has issued guidance on its plans to issue penalty notices by the end of this year to Applicable Large Employers (ALEs) it believes were not in compliance with the requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
That guidance was made as an update to questions 52 – 58 in the IRS’s Questions and Answers on Employer Shared Responsibility Provisions Under the Affordable Care Act.
Letter 226J is the communication that will be sent to ALEs it believes were not in compliance with the ACA for the 2015 tax reporting year. The IRS has released a sample of the letter, which you can see by clicking here.
The IRS process for issuing penalty notices to ALEs for the 2015 tax year is now underway. If you think your company may be receiving a Letter 226J, now may be the time to identify a third-party who has the expertise needed to help you provide a timely and complete response to the IRS. Failing to do so could lead to a penalty assessment and, possibly, an IRS audit. Time to get ready.
