1095 forms: More than 6 covered individuals
A common comment is
The total number of employees auto populated does not match my employee count.
Our printers can print, fold, stuff and seal a fixed number of pages per envelope. We have it set to print, fold, stuff and seal one page per envelope. We cant our printers look ahead and include a continuation sheet if it exists when there are more than 6 covered individuals. So if there are more than 6 covered individuals, the software puts the first 6 covered individuals on one 1095 form and the 7th through 12th on the next 1095 form. The forms are printed and mailed separately. While we can make the software do anything, our printers are more rigid.
For efiling, its different. You can have as many covered individuals as you like. When you efile, the software looks ahead to see if the next record has the same employee SSN and is a continuation and if so, it lists those covered individuals for that employee. You can have any number of covered individuals when efiling and the software will treat that as one employee and not separate. So when you efile to the IRS, the number of employees will equal the number of 1095 forms sent.
