Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You are a "Dual Status Alien" in 2016. That means you can check the box that you were a 'Resident of a Foriegn Country' to waive the penalty for the entire year of 2016.
If you do not have health insurance in 2017, you will be subject to the penalty unless you qualify for a different exemption.
However, TurboTax is not set up to do tax returns for a Dual Status Alien. You do have the option to make the election to be treated as a Resident for the entire year. TurboTax does not do that, you would need to manually do it and mail it with your tax return (it can not be e-filed through TurboTax).
