Prepare forms 1094-C and 1095-C

Process 1094-C and 1095-C forms

Follow these steps to print 1094-C and 1095-C forms.
important
When you process 1095-C forms from the
Process Payroll Tax Forms
 screen, Accounting CS processes 1095-C forms for employees selected on the
Edit Payroll Tax Forms
 screen. To process 1095-C forms for all recipients, mark the
Print All Employees
 checkbox.
For internet filing:
  • To apply for 1095-C electronic filing through the Affordable Care Act Information Returns (AIR), visit the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Services page on the IRS website. You'll need an active e-Services account to apply for 1095-C electronic filing. It may take 1-2 business days to obtain the Transmitter Control Code (TCC) for filing purposes.
  • You'll need to submit a test internet file to the IRS Affordable Care Act Information Return (AIR) System. If this is your 2nd or subsequent year sending these forms to the IRS, you don't need to send another test internet file. It may take 1-2 business days to have the TCC updated from “test” to “production.”
  • IRS regulations made on 23 February 2023 reduce the threshold for filing certain information returns electronically.
