The IRS has revised Form 720 (Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return) for employers sponsoring certain self-insured health plans to report and pay new fees imposed under Health Care Reform to fund PCORI. The fees, which must be reported annually on the second quarter Form 720 and paid by its due date, July 31, are based on the average number of lives covered under a plan. Learn more about which plans are affected, how to calculate and pay fees, and find links to Form 720, form Instructions, final regs, etc.    <back to top>
