In the example, the single-employer plan uses a trust. The IRS refers to 6056 reporting under this scenario as the employer's responsibility. I have heard that some TPAs say this is a plan cost, others say it's an employer cost, which is where I fall based on the IRS regs. I was hoping someone could point me toward something more definitive from DOL regarding 6056 costs.

I haven’t seen this addressed anywhere, and I’m a little surprised. IRC section 6055/6056, as a result of ACA, requires reporting of health coverage. When the health coverage is provided under a single employer plan, is the cost to do this reporting an employer or plan cost? I think I know the answer; I just wanted to see if DOL, or anyone else for that matter, has addressed this question publicly. Thanks.
