ACA Reporting and Compliance Support for Employers
Understand your ACA reporting responsibilities, determine ALE status, organize workforce data, and prepare accurate IRS filings with experienced support.
ACA reporting starts with one question: are you an Applicable Large Employer? If your business averaged 50 or more full-time and full-time equivalent employees in the prior year, reporting requirements likely apply. From there, the process involves organizing coverage and eligibility data, preparing IRS Forms 1094 and 1095, and staying current each filing cycle. Freedom HR Solutions helps employers work through each step, whether you are determining ALE status for the first time, cleaning up data before a deadline, or responding to a notice. We support businesses in Las Vegas, Nevada, and nationwide.

Frequently asked questions
What is ACA reporting?
ACA reporting is the process employers use to report health coverage offers, employee eligibility, and coverage details to the IRS each year. Applicable Large Employers file IRS Forms 1094-C and 1095-C. Freedom HR Solutions helps employers review requirements, organize data, and prepare filing information.
Who is considered an Applicable Large Employer?
Generally, an employer that averaged 50 or more full-time and full-time equivalent employees in the prior calendar year is considered an Applicable Large Employer under the ACA. Full-time equivalent employees are calculated by combining part-time hours. We help employers review their workforce numbers to understand where they stand.
Am I an Applicable Large Employer?
Whether you qualify as an Applicable Large Employer depends on your average employee count from the prior year, including full-time equivalent calculations for part-time workers. If you averaged 50 or more, ACA reporting requirements likely apply. Freedom HR Solutions helps you review your workforce data to make that determination.
How is the ALE threshold calculated?
The ALE threshold is generally 50 full-time and full-time equivalent employees averaged across the prior calendar year. Full-time equivalent employees are calculated by dividing total part-time hours worked in a month by 120. We help employers work through this calculation so they have a clear picture of their status.
What are IRS Forms 1094 and 1095?
Forms 1094 and 1095 are used to report health coverage information to the IRS and to employees. Form 1095-C is provided to each full-time employee; Form 1094-C is the transmittal filed with the IRS. We help employers organize the data needed to prepare accurate filing information.
Can Freedom HR Solutions help with ACA penalty notices?
Yes. We help you understand the notice, organize supporting information, and prepare a practical response. We do not provide legal advice or guarantee outcomes.
How can employers reduce ACA reporting errors?
Clean eligibility data, consistent tracking of full-time and part-time hours, and an annual review of your reporting process all help reduce avoidable errors. We support each of these so your filings are better organized before the deadline.
