As you go through the Health Insurance section of TurboTax, if you indicate that you did not have coverage for the entire year, you will get a screen that lists all the possible exemptions and asks whether any of them apply to you. Based on the information you provide on that screen and the screens that follow it, if you qualify for an exemption TurboTax will fill out Form 8965 appropriately for you and include it in your tax return. If you qualify for the short coverage gap exemption, based on the months that you indicated that you had coverage, TurboTax will give you that exemption automatically and will fill out Form 8965 accordingly.
