How do I obtain an exception number ?

We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question?

 

Are you referring to an ITIN exception, or something else?

 

What are you trying to do?

Yes the health care exemption code im just trying to get done and complete the file. 

Is this for your state? What state are you filing?

 

You no longer need an exemption for healthcare coverage on your federal return.

California 

Some individuals on reddit were explaining how they think it's an error and they got past it but It won't even let me go back and select different options to try and get passed this 

You can revisit your California tax return and change your answers in the health coverage section. Here's how to do that:

 

 

 

1. Sign in to Your TurboTax account.
2. Select State Taxes, then Edit.
3. Select Your State Returns.
4. Continue until you get to Your 2023 California taxes are ready for us to check, select Edit to the right of General info.
5. Continue until you get to Did you have health insurance coverage in 2023?
6. Answer according to your situation.
7. On the screen Did you have a situation that waives the tax penalty for being uninsured? review the options carefully. If none apply, leave the screen blank and the penalty will be added to your return. 
8. If you select one of the options under Can't afford insurance, the penalty will be waived, but you may be asked to prove your statement that your coverage is unaffordable later.
9. If you select one of the options under Exemptions granted by the Marketplace, you will have to apply for an exemption. Follow this link for more. You can answer Pending instead of providing an exemption number. 
10. If you select an option under the last two categories, you don't need to answer any questions about exemptions.
