As the IRS prepares for the upcoming Affordable Care Act (ACA) filing season, employers, CPAs, and service providers need to be aware of a critical system shutdown that may affect their ability to file forms on time. The IRS has announced a scheduled outage for the AIR (Affordable Care Act Information Returns) system beginning December 7, 2025.

This outage impacts all electronic filing for Forms 1094-B/C and 1095-B/C, including prior-year returns. If you still need to submit ACA forms for 2024 or earlier, it is essential to file before December 7 to avoid delays or rejections.
