ACA Reporting for Foreign Companies with U.S. Employees

ACA Reporting for Foreign Companies is required when businesses outside the United States hire U.S. employees. Even if a company is headquartered abroad, Affordable Care Act (ACA) obligations still apply. Employers must report health coverage accurately to remain compliant.

Why ACA Reporting for Foreign Companies Is Required

Foreign companies must follow the same ACA reporting rules as U.S. employers. This includes filing Forms 1095-B and 1095-C through the IRS AIR system. The deciding factor is usually the residence of employees. If employees live in the U.S. or the District of Columbia, ACA forms must be filed regardless of where the company is located.

For example, a company based in Europe but employing U.S. workers must complete ACA Reporting for Foreign Companies to avoid IRS penalties. In addition, ACA reporting helps employees demonstrate that they had minimum essential health coverage.

Filing Requirements and Compliance

ACA Reporting for Foreign Companies ensures that international businesses stay compliant with U.S. law. Employers must file all required forms by IRS deadlines. Missing or incorrect filings can result in penalties. To understand the official rules, review the IRS ACA guidance.
