IRS Form 8928: Health Plan Reporting and Excise Tax Update

• Overview

Employers who sponsor group health plans now have a duty to self-report certain regulatory plan failures and pay excise taxes where such failures are not corrected in a timely fashion once discovered, or are due to willful neglect.

You need to know the Internal Revenue Code rules or risk expensive excise taxes for failure to comply with COBRA, HIPAA and other federal group health plan mandates. Recently issued IRS final regulations now require employers to self-report violations of these rules and pay related excise taxes, where appropriate under the Code and applicable regulations.

This teleconference will help you understand the new reporting obligations, which make compliance with group health plan requirements more important than ever. James McElligott, a nationally recognized employee benefits attorney, will explain the new rules and how employers can avoid paying excise taxes under this new self-reporting regime.
