I am full year tax resident of NJ state, and my wife came to USA for the first time in august. I am filing a joint return, I had insurance for myself, and my wife had insurance from august. so, do i need to file exemption for my wife to avoid penalty for not having insurance for 7 months?
if answer to above question is yes then i have a following question:
while I am trying to complete exemption form -
form is asking to enter taxpayer (primary) name: relationship (self)
and spouse/CU partner name: relationship (spouse)
Do i have to put my wife's name in primary. and mine in spouse column? or
my name in primary as I will be the primary taxpayer and wife name in spouse but again, I am filing this form to get exemption number for my wife.
Thank you for your help in advance.

You are still the primary taxpayer so your name should be listed first.
