How to find and correct 1095 ACA forms that have been accepted with errors

  • Updated

In this article, sample information is used. The addresses, TIN numbers, and other information are for sample purposes only. Make sure you use your own information on the forms.

ACA forms that have been electronically filed with the IRS AIR System and are returned with the Accepted With Errors status may require your attention to avoid IRS penalties. Accepted With Errors means that the IRS has found an issue with a form, or forms, that you’ve successfully submitted. Issues such as a TIN/Name mismatch can incur serious financial penalties, so eFileMyForms recommends that you file corrections for any forms with the Accepted With Errors status.

Types of errors

An error message will be shown when you view a form that has been accepted with errors.

  1. 1095C-010-01; 'OtherCompletePersonName' and 'SSN' in 'EmployeeInfoGroup' must match IRS database. This error is the result of the employee's TIN/Name combination not matching the IRS records.

  2. 1095C-039-01; In Covered Individual #X, 'CoveredIndividualName' and 'SSN' in 'CoveredIndividualGroup' must match IRS database. This error is the result of a covered individual's TIN/Name combination not matching the IRS records.
