ACA Errors and Corrections

How To Identify and Prepare ACA Corrections
When you file your ACA XML with the IRS, you may receive an “Accepted with Errors” acknowledgment. The IRS requires that you file a correction rather than resubmitting the same file. The process is more structured than simply updating your spreadsheet.

Follow these steps to file a correction:

1. Downloading your error summary report.
2. Identifying the errors listed.
3. Prepare the correction spreadsheet.
4. Complete a new Form 1094-C.
5. Upload the correction to the IRS system.
