4. If you would like to default people to a particular value (either Yes or No), you may
set up a default by navigating back to the File Format setup area. Click Edit Defaults;

PR 2913865 – FED ACA: Prevent Employees from being in multiple Original
Submissions
Federal ACA Users: An employee can only be submitted in an original transmission once,
after which a correction must be submitted. This update prevents the user from manually
adding an employee to an original transmission more than once, and generates a fatal
exception if an employee is added twice by other means (selection parameters or import).
Additionally, a new warning has been added to the exception report to alert 1095C users
only about workfile records that have a safe harbor value of 2A, 2B, or 2D for all 12 months.
1. Note that the Transmission shown is 0001 and is an Original transmission.
SKYWARD DOCUMENTATION – ACA UPDATES FOR OCTOBER RELEASE ADDENDUM 10
Revised: 1/28/2016 Page 19 of 50 Version 05.15.10.00.10
2. If you find that employees who should have been reported were omitted from the
Transmission 0001, you will create a Transmission 0002 as an Original.
3. When you have secondary transmissions that are marked as Original, you cannot
Manually Add an employee to the workfile who was already reported. If you select an
employee who was part of a prior Original Transmission, a warning message will
display and the employee will not be added to the workfile.
4. The program does allow employees to be pulled into the workfile by means of the
“Create 1094 Workfile” process. Note that Inga is selected individually to ensure that
she will be extracted into the workfile.
SKYWARD DOCUMENTATION – ACA UPDATES FOR OCTOBER RELEASE ADDENDUM 10
Revised: 1/28/2016 Page 20 of 50 Version 05.15.10.00.10
5. Even though Inga was able to be pulled into the workfile, when the Exception Report
is run, a Fatal exception is found on her record stating that “Employee was already
submitted in prior original submission for [year]”.
6. The same logic applies to the 1094/1095C workfile creation. When you manually add
an employee record, the program looks to see if that individual was part of a prior
original transmission. If they were, the Add process cannot continue.

Revised: 1/28/2016 Page 21 of 50 Version 05.15.10.00.10

pull into the workfile.
8. Even though Inga was able to be pulled into the workfile, when the Exception Report
is run, a Fatal exception is found on her record stating that “Employee was already

1. After your Transmission 0001 has been submitted, your Transmission Receipt ID has
been entered, and you select the appropriate Status (Accepted, Accepted with
Errors, or Rejected); Transmission 0001 is locked and a new Transmission (0002) is
started.

Step 2 (Create/Modify/Report) of your new Transmission, the Type will show as
blank on the top of the browse.
2. When you select Step 2, a message will display asking if you are going to be creating
a Corrected file or an Original file. Click “Yes” for a Corrected file and “No” for an
Original file.
3. When you click “No”, the Type: field at the top of the browse will populate with the

generating.

4. When you are creating an Original file, within Step 2, you will see the option to
Create 1095B (or Recreate 1095B if you have already created the workfile). This
creation process uses the same programming as what was found in Transmission 1.
5. You will not be able to add employees to the workfile who were included in the

employees were omitted from the first file who should have been reported.

file, you will see at the top of the screen that the Type is “Corrected”.
7. When you are processing a Corrected file, you will only have the option to Modify the
current workfile. Corrected files are used only for making changes to records that
were submitted during the previous transmission.
8. Go into the Modify Current 1095B Workfile option and at the top you will see the new
Transmission number and the Type “Corrected”. The workfile will be blank to begin.
If you received a file from the IRS containing the records that need to be corrected,
use the Import option to bring the data into the workfile.

9. After the file is imported, a report will generate showing the names and SSNs of the
employees found and built into the workfile. Additional pages of the report will show
what the errors were for each individual.
10. Once the workfile is built from your Import file, the “Corrected” box at the top of the
screen will be checked; and the employee record number and error information will
display in the bottom left corner of the screen. In this example, the employee error
shows “Invalid SSN”.

IRS error message. In this image, you can see from the employee change history
that her SSN has been updated.
12. Navigate back to the 1094/1095B processing area and go into Step 2 > Modify
Current Workfile. On the right side of the screen, you will see a Sync button. This
option works similar to an extraction. It is used to update an individual employee or
many employees at once by going out to the Profile and pulling in and updating the
data for the selected employee(s). To correct a single employee, highlight the
employee, click Sync, and choose the Sync Selected Employee option.
13. A message will display stating that the process is going to remove the employee’s
existing record in the workfile and replace it with ACA data currently on their Profile.

locked and by whom by navigating to Step 2 and clicking on the File Tracker option.
27. Despite the Transmission being locked, you can still edit the Transmission Receipt
ID. This will only be done in the instance that it was entered incorrectly. This value

31. This type of workfile will default to include all the exact same data as what was
submitted during your prior transmission. This allows you to correct exactly what and
who was already submitted so that your new file will not contain anyone outside of
what the IRS is already expecting to see.
PR 2890960 – FED ACA: Corrections for 1094-C Forms Added
Federal ACA Users: The system now has the capability to process 1094-C corrections.
1. Once you have finalized/locked a Transmission, a new Transmission will
automatically be generated for you. Within that new Transmission, Step 1
information (Employer Info) is “view only”.
Step 1 is “View Only” no matter what Type of Transmission is set (Original,
Corrected, Replacement).

2. Go to Step 5 and click Create Electronic Submission File(s).
3. When the Transmission Type is set to Original, you will be unable to create a 1094
Correction. The flag for these types of corrections is insensitive and a message in red
font states that no changes can be made to the 1094C unless a Correction
Transmission is being performed.

show the Transmission, Submission, and Receipt ID that is going to be corrected.
7. When the 1094 Correction box is checked, sections 2, 3, and 4 become available for
modification. Employee Count information can be updated by clicking the Recalculate
Counts. (Do not use that option unless the employee count information being
reported needs to be modified from what the original file showed).

becomes available. From this button, you are able to modify the employer data that
is otherwise found in Step 1. Making changes to the employer information here,
though, does not update the data found in Step 1.
