Software ID for ACA Electronic Reporting

NOTE: This article relates to year-end reporting for the 2022 tax year and will be updated each January to incorporate the latest process and information.

The Software ID is a unique code assigned to software companies, like Avail. Each year the IRS requires a new Software ID that you submit along with your Affordable Care Act (ACA) electronic reporting. 

TIP: You only need to complete this process if your agency submits the ACA reports electronically.

To update the Software ID:

  1. Navigate to the Menu Path: Human Resources > HR Setup > Edit Misc Codes List
  2. Select AffordableCareAct from the Type drop-down menu. The following form displays:
  3. Enter "22A0016257" as the new value for the SoftwareId code.
