Form 8965 - TT software does not seem to provide any way to enact a "type B" exception for a 2 month gap in health insurance coverage. How do I do this?

As you go through the Health Insurance section, if you indicated that you had two months with no coverage, you will get a page asking if you qualify for an exemption to the Penalty (screenshot).  Continue. 

The Penalty should automatically be waived and you should see 'Based on your situation, the penalty has been waived' (screenshot).

I entered that I became a health care ministry member, but the SW still told me I owe a penalty for the two months. When I look at the form the type B exemptions is not there. There also appear to be other errors on the form , such as duplicate / erroneous entries

I just went back and re-entered all the info again, and now it's good. I must have made some type of data entry mistake the first time. It was very helpful for you to confirm I was taking the right path. Thanks!
