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?
