Convey updates Taxport Compass tool for ACA tax reporting

As part of Sections 6055 and 6056 of the IRS tax code, insurers and corporations will be required to report to the IRS on individuals covered under the plans they offer. To record this data, the IRS issued new tax forms (1095-B & 1095-C) to be sent monthly and annually (depending on the form) to individuals, with subsequent reporting to the IRS. Understanding what needs to be reported, when and in what manner will create challenges for many organizations.
