Here
is a link to a Marketplace tool
with more information, including how to apply
for an exemption. If you qualify for a health coverage exemption
you may have all or part of the penalty waived. Turbo tax will walk you
through questions about possible exemptions and ask if you have applied for
one, when you click on Health Insurance, at the top.

If you have an

and you did not have health insurance for all or part of 2016, here's how to
enter it.
- When asked, Did you have health
insurance coverage in 2016?, select either the second or third option,
depending on your 2016 situation, and Continue.
- If you
had insurance part of the year, select the months you had insurance for
and Continue.
- On the Did you have a situation that
waives the tax penalty for being uninsured? screen, scroll down to
Applied for a penalty exemption, and select Got an exemption certificate
number from the Marketplace or I haven't received one yet and Continue.
- On the Let's get your exemption
certificate number (ECN)screen, select or enter the requested information
and Continue. If you have
applied and are waiting on your number, you may enter pending in the
certificate box.
