In California, I am being penalized for not having health insurance for part of the year. However, on the form (3853, part 2) you can claim an exemption for being below the gross income threshold for filing in California. I am below this. I am above the adjusted gross income threshold. The wording of this exemption specifically say only gross income threshold. However this exemption is not checked in my return and I am being penalized. I think this is mistake and I have no way of correcting it.
