Author: ADP Admin/Tuesday, November 1, 2022/Categories: Compliance Corner , State Compliance Update, Massachusetts

It is almost time for the Massachusetts HIRD filing. Massachusetts law requires employers to file a HIRD form on an annual basis containing information about employer sponsored insurance.

HIRD filing requirements apply to all employers with 6 or more Massachusetts employees in any month during the 12 months preceding Dec. 15, 2022. The filing is done through MassTaxConnect, which will be available for MA HIRD filing beginning on Nov. 15, 2022, through Dec. 15, 2022.

How will ADP TotalSource® assist with this filing?

ADP TotalSource will:

Important Reminders/Tips:
