While businesses with less than 50 employees are not required to provide employees healthcare insurance, many do. If you are one of those companies, then you must adhere to the guidelines of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). If you don’t provide healthcare insurance through a group plan, you are required to purchase healthcare coverage for yourself or pay a penalty (tax) as part of your annual federal taxes.
The IRS provides a wide range of resources related to the ACA. Here are links to many of them:
