Employers and other persons who are liable for the Code Section 4980D excise tax are required to file IRS Form 8928, and thereby self-report violations under the ACA and pay the excise tax. The taxes also apply to multiemployer plans and multiple employer welfare arrangements. Employers, insurers or other vendors must file IRS Form 8928 "Return of Certain Excise Taxes" Under Chapter 43 of the Internal Revenue Code, with the excise tax payment. The discussion will explore what TPAs need to understand about this reporting requirement and how to explain the rule to their clients.
