What is a "1094-C ALE" subgroup and why is it important?

A 1094 subgroup is how BerniePortal groups employees under an Applicable Large Employer (ALE) Member for 1094-C/1095-C filing. On your employer Account, the subgroup type is labeled 1094. On 1094/1095 > Subgroups, each of those subgroups appears on the 1094-C Subgroups list as its own 1094-C form, with its own business name and FEIN.

When BerniePortal generates 1095-C forms for a 1094-C, it includes only employees assigned to that 1094 subgroup. Employees who are still Not assigned for 1094 are omitted—no 1095-C is created for them.

Multiple 1094 subgroups

You can have more than one 1094 subgroup. Typically, each FEIN under which your employer pays employees is its own 1094 subgroup. Each subgroup is configured and filed as its own 1094-C.
