The exception for victims of domestic violence means that you are allowed to file as 'Married Filing Separately" (or, if you lived apart for the last six months of the year, "single' or "head of household").
If you are married and get healthcare through the government marketplace one of the first things it makes you do is promise to file a joint return. So the domestic violence exception is just that - an exception that allows you to file separately.
But there is no box to tick for this exception. Just file your return and send it in.
