As an enhanced security measure, the IRS intends to require approved Form 1094/1095 transmitters to provide two-factor authentication. All transmitters will have to provide credentials (user name and password), along with a security code sent by text message to the user’s cell phone. The IRS will also require re-validation of data in order to use the system.
BAS is an approved software developer and transmitter, and welcomes the IRS’ enhanced security protections. For information about BAS’ Affordable Care Act data collection and reporting services, contact solutions@BASusa.com.
