As part of its primary purpose to facilitate health care reform, the PPAC includes key tax provisions that affect businesses. Many business and employers waited to fully implement these provisions until the Supreme Court determined the fate of the health care reform law. Now, however, businesses must comply with the rules under PPAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it was optional in 2011,&nbsp;<strong>Form W-2 reporting is mandatory for 2012<\/strong>&nbsp;and thereafter. Employers must disclose the aggregate cost of applicable employer-sponsored coverage provided to employees annually on the employee&#8217;s Form W-2. Regardless of whether the employee or the employer pays for the coverage, the aggregate cost of the coverage reported is determined under rules similar to those used in determining applicable premiums for purposes of the COBRA continuation coverage requirements of group health plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HOWEVER, if you really try to read the law you will find the terms indicating the law &#8216;generally&#8217; applies to &#8216;certain employers and with respect to certain types of coverage&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Further from the actual law &#8220;Reporting for the employers covered by the transition relief, and with respect to the types of coverage covered by the transition relief, is not required until future guidance is provided, and in no event will reporting by these employers and with respect to these types of coverage be required on any 2012 Forms W-2 (generally required to be furnished to employees in January 2013)&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BOTTOM LINE&#8230;.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you have more than 250 employees in 2011?
