On Thanksgiving eve (2013), the Department of Health and Human Services announced a delay that impacts small businesses\u2019 ability to apply online for coverage using the SHOP exchange marketplace as mentioned in my November 27 and <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.dlvr.it\/2013\/11\/navigating-the-affordable-care-act-and-understanding-the-affects-on-small-businesses-part-i-overview\/\">November 16<\/a> blog posts on Navigating the Affordable Care Act. What this delay means is that small businesses won\u2019t be able to use the Federal website to apply for\/enroll in coverage through the SHOP exchange for their employees, if they do choose to offer coverage to their employees.\u00a0<b>They will instead have to apply in writing, in person or through an insurance broker or agent.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, November 27, 2013, the Department of Health and Human Services said the agency is immediately opening up direct enrollment in the SHOP program through agents, brokers and insurers <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">in states that let the federal government run their exchange. If your state runs its own exchange (E.g., California) you need to use your state\u2019s exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The announcement was made in a post on the Department of Health and Human Services blog, entitled \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/healthcare\/facts\/blog\/2013\/11\/direct-new-path-to-shop-marketplace.html\">A Direct New Path to SHOP Marketplace Coverage<\/a>.\u201d \u00a0It states:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><i>For small businesses in states with a SHOP Marketplace that\u2019s run by the federal government, we are making changes to make sure that you can take advantage of SHOP coverage and the tax credit as soon as\u00a0possible.

Before we jump into the technical speak, I wanted to recap a couple key requirements for employers. \u00a0With all the recent press and upheaval in the news, it\u2019s not surprising\u00a0\u00a0a survey by Zane Benefits reported that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zanebenefits.com\/blog\/bid\/290581\/Survey-56-of-Small-Businesses-Don-t-Understand-Health-Care-Reform\">56% of small businesses don\u2019t understand health care reform<\/a> and are confused about the employer mandate.\u00a0 In short, under the ACA:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Employers who\u00a0<b>have at least one employee and at least $500,000 in annual dollar volume of business<\/b>, must notify their employees about the new Health Insurance Marketplace; inform employees that they may be eligible for a premium tax credit if they purchase coverage through the Marketplace; and advise employees that if they purchase a plan through the Marketplace, they may lose the employer contribution (if any) to any health benefits plan offered by the employer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the flip side,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Small businesses with less than 50 full time equivalent employees (FTE&#8217;s) are not subject to the employer mandate (and tax penalties) to offer qualified, affordable health insurance to employees. \u00a0The notification above is the only requirement.<\/li>\n<li>In fact, if you have fewer than 25 FTE&#8217;s, you are not only exempt from penalties, but you may be eligible for a <strong>small business healthcare tax credit<\/strong>, designed to encourage small employers with lower-income workers to offer health insurance coverage for the first time or maintain coverage they already have.\u00a0 Read more below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Confused?\u00a0 You\u2019re certainly not alone.\u00a0 <em>\u201cNavigating the federal healthcare reform landscape can be a really daunting task.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In my prior <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.dlvr.it\/2013\/11\/navigating-the-affordable-care-act-and-understanding-the-affects-on-small-businesses-part-i-overview\/\">post\u00a0on the ACA<\/a>, I briefly mentioned the ACA tax credit for small businesses providing health care for their employees obtained from the insurance exchanges via the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP). The below is an in depth discussion of the credit and a summary of information provided by the IRS on how to obtain the credit.<\/p>\n<h3><em>The technical speak:<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.dlvr.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/taxcreditimage.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4872\" alt=\"taxcreditimage\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.dlvr.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/taxcreditimage.jpg\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" \/><\/a>The ACA offers a sliding scale tax credit to small businesses for employers of fewer than 25 FTE\u2019s as an incentive for employers to obtain insurance for their employees.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An employer\u2019s tax credit depends on the number of FTE\u2019s ,<\/li>\n<li>the average annual wages of all employees employed and,<\/li>\n<li>the amount spent on insurance premiums.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tax credits (which have been available since 2010) become more generous starting in 2014.\u00a0\u00a0 The IRS code provides that for taxable years beginning in or after 2014, the credit will be allowed for a two consecutive taxable year periods beginning with the first taxable year in which the employer offers coverage to its employees through a state health exchange (\u201cSHOP\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>In tax year 2014, the maximum tax credit increases to 50 percent of premium expenses and coverage must be purchased from a state health insurance exchange. (Due to the problems with the federal website, there is a possibility that the President may permit signups directly through insurance providers. I\u2019m unsure how this will effect the SHOP signup requirement. )<\/p>\n<p>Employers with 25 or fewer FTE&#8217;s are technically eligible for tax credits if all other criteria are met.\u00a0 However, at 25 FTEs, the tax credit is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">completely phased out<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Who Is Eligible?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b><\/b>You are eligible for a tax credit if you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cover at least <b>50 percent of the cost <\/b>of single (not family) health care coverage for each of your employees<\/li>\n<li>Have <b>fewer than 25 FTE&#8217;s<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Those employees must <b>have average wages less than $50,000<\/b> (as adjusted for inflation beginning in 2014) or less per year<\/li>\n<li><b>Purchased your insurance through the SHO<\/b><strong>P<\/strong> Marketplace to be eligible for the credit for tax years 2014 and beyond<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b><\/b><strong>What is the definition of an FTE?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Two half-time workers count as one FTE.

Moreover, since the amount of the health insurance premium payments is more than the total credit, eligible small businesses<strong> <em>can still claim a business expense deduction<\/em><\/strong> for the premiums in excess of the credit.<\/li>\n<li>The credit is refundable, so even if you have no taxable income, you may be eligible to <strong>receive the credit as a refund<\/strong> so long as it does not exceed your income tax withholding and Medicare tax liability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out the IRS Taxpayer Advocate website where you can do a rough <a href=\"http:\/\/www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov\/calculator\/SBHCTC.htm\">calculation of your potential Tax Credit benefit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do you claim the credit?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To claim the credit, you must use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.irs.gov\/file_source\/pub\/irs-pdf\/f8941.pdf\">\u00a0IRS form 8941<\/a>, <i>Credit for Small Employer Health Insurance Premiums<\/i>, to calculate the credit.
