The U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service said they are extending some Affordable Care Act (ACA) reporting deadlines to help companies meet the requirements.

Employers will have two more months past Feb. 1 to give individuals forms for reporting on offers of health coverage and the coverage provided. The deadlines to report this information to the IRS are extended by three months past the previous Feb. 29 due date for paper filings and the March 31 date for electronic returns, the Treasury said in a statement Monday.

"The vast majority of individual taxpayers will not be affected by this extension," Treasury said. "Like last tax filing season, most individuals will simply check a box on their tax return indicating they had health coverage for the entire year."
