The Employee Data page allows you to view your employees before moving to the next page. An employee highlighted in red indicates that the record is incomplete. Incomplete records may need one of the following corrections:
•Add the First Name, Last Name, Address (Address Line 1, City, State, and Postal Code), and Social Security Number to an employee and rerun the ACA Reporting option.
•For self-insured employers, each employee must have at least one Covered Individual with a First Name, Last Name, SSN or Birth Date, and at least one Month of Coverage selected.
