The IRS and Treasury Department are seeking feedback from small business owners who employ at least 50 full-time employees on the shared responsibility provisions included in the Affordable Care Act.
Under the Affordable Care Act, employers with 50 or more full-time employees that do not offer affordable health coverage to their full-time employees may be required to make a shared responsibility payment. The law specifically exempts small firms that have fewer than 50 full-time employees. This provision takes effect in 2014.
