Yes you may. DACA recipients are considered to be "not legally in the country", and that is the exception that can be claimed with regard to the penalty. However, to claim the exception to the penalty, you must file an amended return to do so for 2017. This FAQ gives instructions on how to prepare the 2017 amended return: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/6603004
