TaxBandits’ online Access is a feature that allows your employees to access their ACA forms online using the secure portal. As the employer/payer, you will need to enable this feature to provide online access to your employees. 

However, before the employee can access their forms online, they must give their consent. When you enable Online Access, they will receive an email prompting them to do so. Once consent is given, they will have access to their forms. 

You can enable Online Access services at different stages of the filing: 

• While preparing the ACA form.
• After transmitting the Form.

Preparation of ACA Form

• When you enter the employee’s basic information, select the Tax form Access checkbox. 

• Alternatively, you can also check the Tax Form Access box on the Distribution of Forms page, which enables the selected employees to access their ACA forms online.

After Transmit

• Go to Home>>Distribution center.

• Click “ACA Forms” under Online Access. 

• Click "Manage" next to the business to grant employees online access.

Note: An email address is required to enable Online Access for an employee. Add an email address of the employee/recipient if not provided earlier. Once added, click “Grant Recipient Access.”

• Select the employees and click “Enable Online Access”. 

• Review your order and make the payment. Once the employee signs the consent through a secure portal, they can view/download the forms shared by you.

Please note that when you enable Online Access for an employee, all forms filed for them will be available online, including the previously filed ones.
