Employee Benefits: Compliance Issues from the Tax Perspective

 

The Affordable Care Act includes a number of new requirements affecting how employee benefits are taxed and reported. This session will outline those changes and discuss common issues faced by employers and employees including new compliance responsibilities placed on benefit plan administrators.  

Specifically, this session will cover the following substantive issues: 

• How employers are planning to develop benefit designs that meet the legal tests (e.g., the “minimum value” and “affordability” requirements) in order to qualify for the employer mandate provisions of the ACA.
• An identification and summary of the reporting and payment requirements with respect to the fee to fund the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI fee).
• A discussion of the new ACA coverage mandates and reporting requirements to the IRS as well as to employees.
• An explanation of the new W-2 reporting provisions on the value of insurance coverage.
• An overview of how “tax favored” accounts (e.g., HRAs, HSAs, and health FSAs) are impacted by the ACA.
