| Under the Affordable Care Act, **applicable large employers** (ALEs)—generally those with **at least 50 full-time employees**, including full-time equivalent employees, in the preceding calendar year—must report certain information to their full-time employees and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) about the health care coverage they have offered (if any). With deadlines for 2017 reporting just a few weeks away, ALEs should begin thinking about these five information reporting facts: 1. ALEs are required to furnish a [Form 1095-C](https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1095-c) to each of their **full-time employees** by **March 2, 2018**. 2. ALEs must file Forms 1095-C, accompanied by the transmittal [Form 1094-C](https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1094-c), **with the IRS** no later than **February 28, 2018 **(or April 2, 2018, if filing electronically). 3. **Self-insured ALEs **must also report via Forms 1094-C and 1095-C. 4. ALEs that file** 250 or more Forms 1095-C **must file them **electronically**. 5. ALEs can find a complete list of information reporting resources at the IRS's [Information Center for Applicable Large Employers](https://www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/employers/aca-information-center-for-applicable-large-employers-ales).
