I cannot file federal b/c I get a prompt that Rerun Form:Enrollmentstatus required (yes, that's exactly how TurboTax has it printed) but then doesn't show an option to select coverage.

The message about "enrollmentstatus" typically refers not to health insurance coverage, but to there being a student on the return whose enrollment status needs to be verified in the Form 1098-T section, or an issue with Form 1099-Q. The recommended solution is to delete the Form 1098-T and/or 1099-Q that has the error and enter the information again correctly.

Steps to Fix "Enrollment Status" Error (Online & Desktop):

Delete the Form/Worksheet: Navigate to the Tools center and select "Delete a form." Find and delete the "Person on the Return Worksheet" or any erroneous 1099-Q or 1098-T forms.
Re-verify Personal Info: Go to the "Personal Info" section and edit your information to ensure student status questions are answered correctly (e.g., changing "Yes" to "No" if not a student).
Check 529 Distribution (1099-Q): If you are using 529 funds for private K-12 education, the 1099-Q might cause this issue. Deleting the 1099-Q form, if the distribution is not taxable, often clears the error.
