You might be exempt
if the minimum amount you'd have to pay for the annual premiums is more than
eight percent of your household income.
You don't
necessarily need an ECN to claim the exemption -- please see "Types of
Coverage Exemptions" on page 3 of the IRS' 2018 Instructions for Form
8965 to see what's needed when you file your return.
When you're ready to
file your return, please see the TurboTax FAQ "How do I file Form 8965 for
the health coverage exemption?" for guidance on entering your exemption
information. I also attach a couple of
additional FAQs, just FYI.

To receive an ECN
(Exemption Certificate Number), you would've needed to apply for insurance with
the Marketplace. If you qualified for an
exemption, the Marketplace would've provided with an ECN. For information on applying for health
insurance, please see HealthCare.gov.
