CA state Form 3853 - Health Coverage Exemption: No ECN entry error
Turbotax informed me that my CA state return needs fixing in order to e-file.
So I chose ‘Fix CA Return”
1. The “Check This Entry” screen says “Form 3853 - Health Coverage Exemption: Exemption Certificate Number must be entered since you have selected an exemption.......”
Since I don’t have ECN, I entered “No ECN”.
2.“Check This Entry” screen says “Form 3853 - Health Coverage Exemption: Exemption Certificate Number or No or Pending ECN should be entered but not both.”
I erased the previous entry “No ECN” in (1), since “No ECN” is already selected from the drop down menu.
The screen goes back to (1), which says “Form 3853 - Health Coverage Exemption: Exemption Certificate Number must be entered since you have selected an exemption.......”
I seem to be caught in an infinite loop, and believe that this is an error in the Turbotax program.
Please advise how I would be able to fix this, so I may e-file?
