Affordable Care Act tax provisions for large employers

 

Some of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, or health care law, apply only to applicable large employers, generally those with 50 or more full-time employees, including full-time equivalent employees. For example, applicable large employers have annual reporting responsibilities concerning whether and what health insurance they offered to their full-time employees (and their dependents).

Applicable large employers can find resources and the latest news at the Applicable Large Employer Information Center.
