2016 ACA - Cert of Eligibility on 1094C

In 2015, we used the Section 4980H Transition Relief method for Certification of Eligibility in Part II of the 1094C.  It doesn't look like this is applicable to us for 2016 but I will have to check with our Benefits staff.

Is it possible that we could elect a different method, such as Qualifying Offer Method?  I was testing and changed the GRE ACA Reporting Requirement Cert of Elig field from Section 4980H to Qualifying Offer and then did an archive for 2016.  When I looked back at the 1094C for 2015, it changed the Cert of Elig in Part II to the new Qualifying Offer Method.  I didn't expect changing the GRE would affect what's already been reported for the previous year of 2015.
