Right, I know all that and - as I mentioned in my original post - I have obtained the exemption # (case?) through NJ Gov website. My question is specifically about the way TurboTax asks me to fill schedule NJ-HCC. If I'm covered for 10 months and have the exemption for the remaining two I should not be penalized for not having health insurance yet TT seems to ignore the exemption. Is it because I'm following the instructions wrong and the schedule is filled incorrectly or because there is a bug in the software?
I guess you could boil down my question to: am I allowed to claim having insurance throughout the whole year if I have the official exemption for the two months I had the short gap in coverage? I believe that would calculate my taxes correctly.
