Please Share Your Experience with the Small Employer Health Credit
|
The National Council of Nonprofits is eager to learn of your experiences in calculating and claiming the small employer health credit.The small employer health credit that nonprofit and for-profit employers may claim to help pay for employee health insurance is the subject of ongoing review. Last month, the House Oversight Subcommittee of the Ways and Means Committee heard testimony on whether small business employers are currently benefiting from the Small Business Tax Credit, problems they may be encountering when calculating the credit, and whether the IRS is administering it in a way that ensures tax compliance. Most witnesses stressed that it is too soon to tell whether the tax credit, enacted as part of the 2010 health care reform law, is serving the purpose of making employer-provided health insurance more affordable for smaller employers. The Government Accountability Office is conducting a follow-up study to better understand the barriers that small employers are experiencing, assess IRS education and enforcement efforts, and determine the potential effects of the credit.
