Reminder: NJ Shared Responsibility Reporting Requirement Due March 31, 2023

 

As a reminder, if an employer has at least one employee who resides primarily in New Jersey for at least 15 days in any month, the employer is subject to file Form(s) 1095 with the New Jersey Division of Taxation in the subsequent year annually. The current 2022 tax year’s filing is due on March 31, 2023. To meet NJ’s reporting requirements, employers can provide copies of Forms 1095-C (or B) prepared for the ACA employer mandate and individual mandate provisions.

For fully insured plans, if their insurers are filing their NJ residents’ Form(s) 1095-B, then the employers are not required to file the forms with the state. However, employers are encouraged to discuss and confirm with their insurers that the insurers are filing their forms in a timely manner.

For self-insured plans, employers are responsible for timely filing completed Forms 1095-C (or B) with the state.

The main objective of this state reporting is for the state to enforce its Individual Mandate requirement by verifying that each resident had health coverage in the prior year.

Affected employers should be aware of these developments.
