Affordable Care Act 1095-C Forms

If you are a KVS Payroll customer you can create the 1095-C Forms using a Springbrook Cloud DB.    In KVS you can export the data that resides in KVS into 4 spreadsheets.  Once the data is in an excel spreadsheet you will need to add the data that the IRS requires that is not stored in the KVS Payroll Module.
