The federal Affordable Care Act requires certain employers to provide employees with forms reporting offers of health coverage and coverage provided by the employer in 2015 by no later than February 1, 2016. Employers then had to report that information to the IRS by February 29 (by paper) and March 31 (electronically). According to a joint press release, the Treasury Department and the IRS have now extended these 2016 reporting deadlines. Specifically, the February 1 is extended by two months and the February 29 and March 31 reporting deadlines are extended by three months.
