Considering the fact that Payroll needs to reduce the amount of taxes paid to the Feds, are you providing a roster of the AEI's or just a total number? Would this fall under the health care operations of HIPAA? Thaks for your thoughts.

Not sure if this falls under HIPAA or not . But what we are doing is this. I do payroll tax deposits and I have requested that HR send me a report each month of # of AEI's and the premium credit amount. I've given them a copy of the IRS guidance on what detailed info is to be retained and they are going to keep that backup info in their files.

I'll ask them to give me a quarterly recap and I'll reconcile that to the monthly totals as part of my 941 prep process
