How to fill form 8965 when I do not have ecn number but claiming coverage exemption because income was below the filing threshold?

When you fill out the Health Section in TurboTax, if you select that insurance was unaffordable, TurboTax will fill out a Form 8965, Health Coverage Exemptions, for your return.  This exemption may be claimed directly on your tax return and does not require an exemption certificate from the Marketplace.

Scroll down to Couldn’t afford insurance, and make your selection.

If the lowest priced plan through your job that covered just you and would cost you more than 8.16% of your household income, then it was considered unaffordable. If you don't take the insurance, you would qualify for an exemption from the no-coverage penalty.
