Company Setup: ACA

The ACA tab is used to configure the system for collection of data for and production of the various forms and filings required by the Affordable Care Act.

Before beginning, the client must have an ACA Service in place. This is done on the Master Company Setup > Services Tab.

There are two service levels available with the ACA Service.

Full Service : Clients that maintain Insurance plans and wish to have the system calculate form data based on their employees’ Insurance elections should utilize the ‘Full’ ACA Service Level.

Mini Service : The client enters data for ACA Tax Forms directly into the system. This can be done either employee by employee or using the on-board Bulk Editing Tool.
