Has anyone had a problem with the BN297 form not picking up the changes from the BN27.2? if so, how did you correct it.

You have to rerun BN990 and BN991 before you run BN297.

They are still not showing. I ran it in report only. Should I run it in update? how many times can you run BN990 in update?

unknown

They should show up in report mode, however you can run it as many times as you want in update mode. I had a difficult time figuring out exactly how to enter the corrections so they would work properly, am wondering if that is the problem. What exactly are you trying to correct?

I received an E on the BN990 - Not eligible for 1095-C report. These employees should receive the form. They are full-time employees who waived benefits. I am trying to remove the E from the safe harbor code and replace with 2H.

I had to make sure that I used the report entity, which for us is our head process level since we roll up all process levels and report for the whole organization with one EIN. I also defined all months on the bn27.2 and not just the one that had the E.

Ok, I will try that and see what happens.

You can Reference KB1688719 - How do I process ACA Employer and Employee Year End parameters.

A Data Item for “Full Topic Override” exists for BN27.1 Topic R4 and BN27.2 Topics E2 (Line 14 Offer Code); E3 (Line 15 Employee Cost); and E4 (Line 16 Safe Harbor Code). The Value in the BN27.1/BN27.2 Full Topic Override controls the behavior of BN27.2 Data Items for Jan – Dec and All that have NOT been overridden. The BN27.1 Value controls the behavior at the RE level (and is the recommended set up to have consistent functionality by RE). However, If set to “E”, then the PR27.2 Full Topic Override behavior can be identified by employee.
1. BN27.1 Full Topic Override is blank or populated with “Y” Yes,
Then Values must be entered on BN27.2 for all months (Jan – Dec or All) because all BN99 data for Line 14, 15, and 16 is overridden. A BN27.2 Data Item Value left blank is an override and will report as blank or zero. This is the functionality of the programs prior to the addition of the Full Topic Overrides.
a. Example: BN990 is run and updates BN99 Offer Codes for Jan – Dec as 1H. Full Topic E2 Override is blank or set to “Y”. BN27.2 override for Jan is set to 1A. BN297/BN299 will pick up the BN27.2 override to report Offer Code 1A for January and blank for Feb - Dec.
2. BN27.1 Full Topic Override is populated with “N” No:
Then only the Values to be overridden are entered on BN27.2 because BN99 data for Line 14, 15, and 16 will be referenced. A BN27.2 Data Item Value left blank is NOT an override and will default from BN99. To use BN27.2 to remove a Line 14 or 16 Code or Line 15 Cost, for Topics E2 Line 14 and E4 Line 16 enter an “*” and for Topic E3 Line 15 enter a zero (0).
a. Example: BN990 is run and updates BN99 Offer Codes for Jan – Dec as 1H. Full Topic E2 Override set to “N”. BN27.2 override for Jan is set to 1A. An “*” is required in the All month box to clear the 1H from All. BN297/BN299 will pick up the BN27.2 overrides to report an Offer Code of blank in the All box, 1A for January and 1H for Feb - Dec.
3. BN27.1 Full Topic Override value on BN27.1 is “E” Employee (BN27.2):
Then the behavior of the topic will be controlled by the Full Topic Override Data Item Value in the employee’s BN27.2 Full Topic Override.
a. If the value in the Full Topic Override in BN27.2 is “Y”, see (1.) above.
b. If the value in the Full Topic Override in BN27.2 is “N”, see (2.) above.

Thank you so much for your response. I tried it and it is still not working. We've noticed that a few patches are missing and because we are hosted, it will be at least a week or so before Infor can get it done. Is there a way to override this issue? I only have 9 people to fix. We're trying to print the forms today if possible. Also, do you know if we have to show $0.00 for no cost plans or is blank acceptable?

TO ANY COMMUNITY MEMBER: We are trying to get our 1095's done today. We are hosted and cannot get our patches (3) done for another two weeks. Our last few issues are:
1) blanks in the employee cost instead of $0.00
2) EIN not showing on BN297
3) 9 people to add. BN27.1, BN27.2 etc.. changes did not work. Can they be manually added to the BN297 file

Carmen-

1. I am unsure of.

2. To populate EIN - Go to PR06, ensure your EIN is set up on PR06.1 - then go to additional EIN at the bottom (PR06.2) set up your EIN there as well. This is what we had to do to populate ours.

3. Yes, you can make changes directly on the PR297. However, you need to ensure you have placeholders in order to not compromise your date. Our IT team helped us with this, they put in the place holders, we made a few final changes, and sent it back to them and they were able to upload file to MHC to print out 1095C's.

Hope this helps some!

you will need to make sure those same change are in your 1094 file once those programs are released.

Our situation:

Employees were severed in 2014, extended benefits into 2015 (BN32), then enrolled in retiree plan in 2015 (BN72). Combining BN32 and BN72, these retirees should have full-year of coverage. BN990 did not create record because these employees were terminated in 2014, BN991 only showed the coverage months in BN72, thus we used BN27.2 and hope to override the coverage months, however BN297 did not pick up the changes. The fields that were entered on Dependent Record (Topic: F1, F2, etc):
- First name
- Last Name
- SSN
- Date of Birth
- Annual Indicator (X)

Did we miss something? Help please?!!!

They were terminated in 2014, but had health coverage in 2015, then enrolled into retirement coverage later in the year. BN990 doesn't process coverage for terminated employees, the system would expect COBRA or Retiree coverage for terminated employees. You would want to create these individuals as ACA Resources (BN95.1 & BN95.2). There is an import - ACA Resources Upload (BN597) if you have alot of individuals to process.

Hi Amy,

These individuals had BN72 records in 2015, BN991 created the form but only showed the coverage months in BN72. We want to correct the coverage months in BN27.2 to show the full-year. How do we do that?

unknown

You would want to create the full year for the individual using ACA Resources (BN95.1 & BN95.2). There is a lapse in employment (term date in 2014) with health coverage and Retirement coverage in 2015, so the system is unable to merge those records. Normally health coverage ends with employment, which doesn't sound like in this case.

unknown

I'll try that. Thank you Amy for your help.

Amy and others,
I created the full year for these individuals as ACA Resources and reran BN297. The BN297 output shows 2 forms (1 from BN991 and 1 from ACA Resource). I have tried:

- Corrected BN27.2 but BN297 did not pick up the changes
- Created as ACA Resources (BN95.1 & BN95.2), BN297 created 2 forms

Both test results did not work. Any other ideas beside changing the data directly in BN297 file?

You will need to get the BN991 records deleted. On the BN15 ACA Parameters, set self-insured = No, then rerun BN991 for those employees you need to remove. Verify the records are removed, then go back into BN15 ACA Parameter and reset self-insured = Yes. Now BN297 should only find the BN95 record.
