For more information on corrections and forms, see IRS 1095-C Instructions.

Data sourced into these fields from Admin Tools > Employer > Detail Tab. Data can be adjusted, post-import, in the Companion application's ACA Employer tab.

Part II - Line 14

Logic

Code	Logic
1A-1G	Populated based on offer of coverage in the ACA Companion application's Employee plan details tab. A healthcare deduction and/or contribution is on the employee's record for a full month.
1H	No healthcare deductions or contributions are on the employee's record that month OR The healthcare deduction/contribution does not cover the full month.

Example

Joe Smith was effective on MVP Insurance starting May 15th. A deduction of Healthcare Plan 1 is on his record from 5/15/15 through 12/15/15. His Line 14 will show 1H from January through May, 1F from June through November and back to 1H in December.

To Correct Errors

Issue	How to Correct
The offer of coverage code	Change the value for the specific employee in the ACA Companion application's Employee Plan Details tab.
An offer of coverage showing	In the ACA Companion application, Insurance plan tab, insert a $0.00 deduction on an employee's record for the months the employee was enrolled in health insurance. In the ACA Companion application, Insurance plan tab, insert a $0.00 contribution on the employee's record for the months the employee waived healthcare coverage.
Dates of coverage offered	In the ACA Companion application, Benefit package tab, alter the start and end dates of the healthcare deduction or contribution on the employee's record to reflect the months of coverage.
A deduction/contribution not showing as coverage	The transaction type used must have the IsHealthcare box checked in Admin Tools > System > Transaction Type > Detail Tab

Part II - Line 15

Logic

Code	Logic
$XX.XX	The dollar amount is determined by the Monthly employee only minimum contribution value in the ACA Companion application's Insurance plan tab. If the Monthly employee only minimum contribution property is set to a percentage, the value will equal the percentage multiplied by the employer's gross wages for the month. The value populates if an offer of coverage is made in the Employee plan detail tab of the ACA Companion application.
Blank	Line 14 shows 1A, 1F, 1G, or 1H (Line 15 value is not required in combination with these codes).

Example

Joe Smith had coverage from 5/15/15 to 12/15/15. His Line 15 will show $85.60 from June through November (his full months of coverage). All other months will be blank.

To Correct Errors

Issue	How to Correct
The dollar amount shown	The dollar amount is determined by the Monthly employee only minimum contribution value in the ACA Companion application's Insurance plan tab.
The months that a value appears	Correct the offer of coverage in the ACA Companion application's Employee plan details tab and Monthly employee only minimum contribution property for months that an offer of coverage is shown.
A cap on the employee's share (maximum value)	The user can use the ACA Companion application's Insurance plan tab's Monthly employee only minimum contribution upper limit to input the maximum amount for an employee's share of coverage.

Part II - Line 16

Logic

Code	Logic
2A	Employee does not have an assignment in that month OR The assignment has a performance code that is marked as "False" for the Config Choice Property, CountAsAssigned.
2B	Employee is considered non-full-time for that month and/or was terminated during that month. 2B will populate in January 2016 if healthcare deduction/contribution starts on or before the first payroll of the year. Note: This rule only applies to the 2016 reporting year.
2C	A healthcare deduction is in that employee's record for the full month.
2D	The employee is in a limited non assessment period. Which could be their initial measurement and/or admin periods. 2D will stop populating once the employee is considered full-time or has met their effective insurance date. Note: 2D will never populate after the effective insurance date. Will take the earliest Effective Insurance Date (EID) on the employee's record in the reporting year.
2E-2I	Populates the value input in the ACA Companion application's ACA Employer tab when none of the above conditions are met.
Blank	None of the above conditions for Line 16 are met AND/OR The value for the Indicate Certifications of Eligibility property in the ACA Companion application's ACA employer tab is blank.

Example
Joe Smith began working with ABC Staffing on March 1st. He was offered MVP insurance which became effective on June 1st. He terminated his employment with ABC Staffing in mid-December. His 1095-C should appear as below:
