The Internal Revenue Service has
launched a new Affordable Care Act Tax Provisions site at IRS.gov/aca
to educate individuals and businesses on how the health care law might affect
them.
The home page of the site includes
three sections explaining the tax benefits and responsibilities for individuals
and families, employers and other organizations, with links and information for
each group. The site also provides information about tax provisions that are in
effect now and those that will go into effect in 2014 and beyond.
Topics include premium tax credits
for individuals, new benefits and responsibilities for employers, and tax
provisions for insurers, tax-exempt organizations and certain other business
types. Visitors to the new site will be able to find information about the law
and its provisions, along with legal guidance, the latest news, frequently
asked questions and links to additional resources.
Several other federal agencies will
also play a significant role in implementing the health care law, including the
Department of Health and Human Services, which has primary responsibility. To
help taxpayers locate additional online resources from the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor and the Small Business Administration,
the IRS has issued a new Web-based flyer, Healthcare Law Online Resources (Publication 5093).
Taxpayers can visit IRS.gov/aca
for more information from the IRS regarding the tax provisions of the
Affordable Care Act as well as a Tumblr blog, ACA on Tumblr.
