Updated 2016 Benefits Compliance Calendar Available
2015 ACA Tax Reporting Deadlines have been updated
On December 28, 2015, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced that it will extend the 2016 deadlines for furnishing and filing Forms 1094 and 1095 for 2015 Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax reporting. As a result, the reminder dates have been updated in the 2016 Benefits Compliance Calendar.
If you’ve already downloaded the calendar, you can either change the reminders manually or re-import the calendar to update the dates.
For a manual change, open these original events and change the dates:
| Original Date | Reminder | New Deadline |
| February 1, 2016 | Distribute 1095-B or 1095-C statements to all 2015 medical plan participants | March 31, 2016 |
| February 29, 2016 | File form 1094-B or 1094-C with the IRS (if filing manually) | May 31, 2016 |
| March 31, 2016 | File form 1094-B or 1094-C with the IRS with the IRS (if filing electronically) | June 30, 2016 |
If you re-import the full calendar to receive the updated reminders, first delete the original reminders on the above dates. Then, follow the download instructions (note step 7) to replace the events already in your calendar with the new items.
If you haven’t downloaded the calendar, the new dates for these tasks will appear when you first import it.
