The IRS have confirmed there will be an automatic extension of time to provide employees with forms 1095-B and 1095-C. The automatic extension will provide an additional 30 days to provide the forms. The deadline is usually January 31st, but with the extensions, the deadline for 2022 is delayed to March 2, 2022. In future years, if the 30-day extension falls on a weekend, the due date will be the next business day following that weekend.

Note, there is no extension of the good faith standard for 2021 filings, so employers will want to make sure to thoroughly review forms for accuracy and correct any errors as soon as possible.
