Approve for E-Filing

Approve for eFiling

After you have finalized either the original or corrected version of an ALE, you must approve the forms for eFiling. After forms are approved, ACA Employer Services will file the forms on your behalf.

Important

When the status of an ALE changes to Accepted with Errors, make your corrections and approve for eFile within 45 days.
