Why Accurate Data Is the Foundation of ACA Compliance 1094/1095C Filings


Glenn R. Davidow / Article / 03


ACA Compliance Begins with Data Integrity

ACA compliance involves much more than meeting the deadline for submitting IRS Forms 1094/1095-C. The greater risk lies in the integrity of the data behind those forms. Employers who depend on fragmented data sources, manual processes, or outdated compliance tools put themselves at risk for costly IRS penalties and audits.

ACA Compliance Solution Services, Inc. (ACACSS) addresses this risk by focusing on data accuracy, automation, and end-to-end compliance management—ensuring employers stay protected, efficient, and audit-ready all year round.

The Core Problem: Inaccurate Data = Expensive Compliance Errors

The Complexity of ACA Reporting

ACA rules require employers to capture and report data across multiple systems including:

  • Payroll platforms
  • HR and benefits administration tools
  • Timekeeping and attendance systems

If this data is inconsistent, outdated, or manually reconciled, errors are inevitable. These errors result in:

  • Misclassified employee statuses
  • Incorrect affordability codes
  • Missing or duplicate 1095-C forms
  • Triggered IRS penalty letters
The Cost of Getting It Wrong

Failure to validate and reconcile ACA-related data can lead to:

  • $310 per incorrect or missing form
  • $4,460/year per employee under IRC 4980H penalties
  • Rejected IRS filings due to missing fields (like Line 14/15)
  • Time-consuming and stressful audits

Why Most ACA Vendors Fall Short

Many ACA software platforms only focus on generating forms. They don’t solve the core problem: data quality and risk prevention. These tools often lack:

  • Cross-platform data validation
  • Automated reconciliation
  • Real-time tracking of eligibility and offers
  • Penalty response and audit resolution

As a result, employers are left to fill in the gaps themselves—leading to delays, inefficiencies, and compliance risks.
