Irvine Attorney Previews New ACA Penalties

In her bylined article for Corporate Compliance Insights titled “ACA Penalties are Coming,” Irvine attorney Melissa Shimizu offers a look into the types of penalties facing employers for noncompliance of Section 4980H(b) of the Affordable Care Act. Melissa explains the different types of penalties and when they may be assessed against employers, as well as the guidelines and timing for challenging and appealing a penalty. 

Melissa concludes by offering some advice for employers. While employers can’t do much at this point to prevent penalties from the 2015 tax year, there may still be time to review and submit amended forms for the 2016 and 2017 tax years to avoid getting another round of IRS letters and not repeat prior mistakes.
