Facing likely defeat, Republicans have pulled the American Health Care Act, which would have made numerous changes to the information reporting provisions and employment tax provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).   The legislation would have also created a new information reporting requirement by adding Section 6050X to the Code.  The House was scheduled to vote on the legislation this afternoon, but Republicans have struggled to appease both conservative Republicans, who wanted a more completed repeal of the ACA, and moderate Republicans, who were concerned about the potential loss of coverage that could result from the legislation. The decision to pull the bill increases the likelihood that the ACA’s information reporting regime under Sections 6055 and 6056 will remain in place, along with the additional Medicare tax and other provisions of the ACA.
