Internal Revenue Service (IRS) OMB Number: 1545–2252. Type of Review: New Collection. Title: REG–132455–11—Reporting of Minimum Essential Coverage (TD 9660—Final) Abstract: The IRS developed Form 1094–B and Form 1095–B under the authority of IRC section 6055, added by Public Law 111–148, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), section 1502(a). Section 6055(a) requires every health insurance issuer, sponsor of a self-insured health plan, government agency that administers governmentsponsored health insurance programs and other entity that provides minimum essential coverage to file annual returns reporting information for each individual for whom minimum essential coverage is provided. Form 1094–B, serves as a transmittal for Form 1095– B, Health Coverage. The burden for the collection of information contained in these final regulations (TD 9660) is reflected in the burden on Form 1094– B and 1095–B. Transmittal of Health Coverage Information Returns (‘‘aggregator’’ filing for insurance companies)—1094–B: Filing Form 1094–B is voluntary for tax year 2015 and the number of voluntary issuers is uncertain, but it is estimated that there will be 430 issuers. The average time per issuer of 10 minutes reflects the fact that this is a cover page, there are very few lines to complete, and the information takes minimal effort to obtain. Health Coverage—1095–B: Filing Form 1095–B is voluntary for tax year 2015 and the number of voluntary filers is uncertain, but the estimated number of issuers is 430. The total number of Form 1095–B (one per insured ‘‘unit’’) approaches 4,600,000. The perdocument average is slightly higher than Form 1095–A, because the complexity of the required recordkeeping and reporting for Form 1095–B is beyond what is required in standard business practice. On the other hand, the average time per document is on the low side because the information needed to meet the recordkeeping and reporting requirements is maintained for other business reasons. Also, insurance companies are more likely to be large and, therefore, to have lower documentproduction costs as a result of the scale.
