Excluding an Employee from ACA Reporting

Unless otherwise specified, all employees are included in ACA reporting. You can exclude them for all or part of the reporting year if they're not considered full-time under Section 4980H. Alternatively, they're not considered an employee for ACA reporting purposes. For example, a contractor, a sole proprietor, or a partner is not considered an employee for ACA reporting.

  1. Go to Payroll and HR > Lists > Employees (Payroll Manager).

  2. On the Employees list, click Edit next to the employee you want to exclude from ACA reporting.

  3. Click the Affordable Care Act (ACA) subtab.

  4. Click the Exclude from ACA subtab.

  5. From the Reason list, select why you're excluding the employee from ACA reporting.

  6. Enter the Start Month and Start Year when the exclusion starts.
