The IRS deadline for recipient copies is March 3, 2025. Employee copies that are mailed will be processed within 2 to 3 business days of your order and delivered to the post office for first-class mail delivery. The U.S. Postal Service typically delivers first-class mail within 7-10 days, although we cannot guarantee postal delivery times. You will be notified on the date that your forms are delivered to the post office. Note: recipients will not receive forms if you select the E-File Only service option.

Forms are processed every business day until April 1, 2025, when we switch to processing weekly. After April 1, 2025, we will process orders within one business day through April 30, 2025. Starting May 1, 2025 we will process orders twice weekly, every Tuesday and Thursday morning through 10/31/2025. All submissions on 10/31/2025 before 6 PM ET will be processed 10/31/2025. All files submitted after 6pm ET will be processed 11/3/2025. If you order later in the day on Tuesday or Thursday, your forms will be e-filed the following Tuesday or Thursday. Previous years' forms will follow the same schedule listed above.

After you submit your forms and payment, you can log into your account and will have access to copies of your forms in PDF format. Simply log in to your account and on the navigation bar on the left, hover over Filings and then click on Filed which will direct you to your Filed Forms page. Select the form you want to print. Use the filters to find the forms you want and then click "Apply." Once your employee information appears on screen, select the employee records and click the "Copy" button for any forms you want to print.

Yes. You can add an unlimited number of employers and employees under a single account if you choose. When creating the form, simply select the correct company and employee from the drop-down boxes on the form. All related data will then be filled in automatically.

We begin our processes immediately after you submit forms and check out. Therefore, you cannot change any information entered into a form once you have checked out and paid for our service.

To correct a form that has been printed and filed in error, you’ll need to create a separate correction form. The service is available to you through the site at a separate fee and includes delivery of the corrected employee copy as well as submission of the correction to the IRS, if you select e-file, print & mail at checkout. ACA corrections are only available if you filed the original form with us.

For self-insured employers completing 1095-B forms, we will automatically include the 1094-B transmittal form with your submission at no additional cost. When filing 1095-C forms, you must also file a separate 1094-C form available through the site that requires additional information from employers regarding:

• Whether the organization offered coverage to at least 95% of its full-time employees and their dependents.
• The total number of 1095-C forms issued to employees.
• Information about members of the aggregated applicable large employer group, if any.
• Counts of full-time employees on and total employee counts by month.
• Whether the company is eligible for certain transition relief, including certification.

Employers can pay a high price for failing to comply with ACA reporting requirements. In addition to the IRS ramping up penalty amounts, the punitive nature of penalties means the combined cost can add up quickly.

The amount of the penalty is based on when you file the correct information return or finish the correct payee statement. Also, the penalty for failure to file a correct information return is separate from the penalty for failure to furnish the correct payee statement. For example, if you fail to file a correct 1095-C with the IRS and don’t provide a correct statement to the payee, you may be subject to two separate penalties. And depending on the oversight, the maximum amount you can incur in the calendar year can reach into the thousands.

All company and employee data is protected using security controls mandated or recommended by the IRS and HIPAA. This includes data encryption, access controls, data integrity and availability. Any information you provide is used only for the purpose of processing your forms. We will never share your information or sell it even if you no longer use our service.
