Case Study: Fortis Management Group LLC avoids IRS penalties and streamlines ACA reporting with Sovos

Fortis Management Group overcomes ACA reporting challenges with Sovos

Fortis Management Group LLC, which manages more than 60 nursing homes and about 6,000 employees, faced a major ACA reporting challenge when the IRS required separate 1094‑C/1095‑C filings for each of its 60+ EINs instead of using a single parent EIN. To avoid potentially severe IRS penalties beginning in TY2017 and to stop error‑prone manual spreadsheet work, Fortis turned to Sovos and its Sovos ACA Reporting (Sovos ACA online reporting) solution.

Sovos enabled Fortis to upload its massive employee spreadsheet for 60+ facilities, automate mailings and IRS transmittals, and flag potential errors before 1095‑C forms were mailed. By using Sovos, Fortis eliminated hours of hand‑keying, reduced filing errors, and avoided potentially costly IRS penalties, freeing HR staff to focus on other priorities.
