As a small business owner, it's essential to keep track of all the taxes you need to pay and forms you need to file. One form that often gets overlooked is Form 720, also known as the Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return.

The PCORI fee is an annual IRS fee that helps fund patient-centered health research and is reported on Form 720. Whether you must pay it depends on how your health plan is funded. Employers with self-insured or level-funded plans generally pay the fee, while insurers handle it for fully insured plans. However, employers may still owe the fee if they sponsor HRAs or ICHRAs. The fee is calculated based on the average number of covered lives, with specific IRS-approved counting methods. Filing is due every year by July 31, and timely e-filing helps avoid penalties and ensure smooth compliance.
