If I have DACA what box option do I check for not having health insurance do I check "Not a legal U.S. resident" or do i just leave it blank?

Yes, answer “Not a legal resident.”

This is from the IRS website:

“Individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States and not U.S. citizens or U.S. nationals are exempt from the individual shared responsibility provision. For this purpose, an immigrant with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status is considered not lawfully present and therefore is eligible for this exemption.  An individual may qualify for this exemption even if he or she has a Social Security number (SSN).”
