The bad news is the ACA (Obamacare) rules are still in effect.

The ACA requirements for restaurants are complex and time-consuming.

Yearly testing is required and if a restaurant or group of commonly owned restaurants meet the IRS defined criteria of 50 employees, health insurance must be offered and yearly forms filed and distributed to all full time employees.

Kallas has offered this service for all our clients since the law was passed.

Some of our accounting and tax clients use an outside payroll company for their payroll needs.

In the past, Kallas would prepare their ACA forms even though they did not use our payroll service.

Unfortunately, obtaining the necessary information from the other payroll companies has become time consuming and cost-prohibitive.

Therefore, starting with the 2022 reporting year, for those clients who do not use the Kallas Payroll service, we can no longer prepare their ACA forms.

If you are using a non-Kallas payroll service and you are liable for ACA, please contact your payroll company now and talk to them about your ACA obligations.

Or, as a better option, Kallas would welcome your payroll business and your ACA obligations would be covered by knowledgeable accountants. 

If you have any questions, call Jordan or George at 313-962-6000.
