A workable solution from Health Care Attorneys PC:
One common error an employer received from the Affordable Care Act Information Return system (AIR system) when submitting a packet of Form 1095-Cs was an error reporting that a Form 1095-C was submitted with an incorrect taxpayer identification number (TIN). The error code displayed when this occurs is AIRTN500 which signifies an individual name and TIN does not match the IRS database. Unfortunately, the IRS software does not currently tell the employer which TIN (or TINs) is causing the error message rather the AIR system only tells the employer the UniqueRecordId that is causing the TIN error (each Form 1095-C has its own UniqueRecordId).
