ITA Home This interview will help you determine if you're eligible for a health insurance coverage exemption or if you're required to make an Individual Shared Responsibility Payment under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). While you can claim most exemptions from coverage when you file your tax return, certain exemptions must be granted by the Health Insurance Marketplace in advance. If the Marketplace grants your coverage exemption, they'll send you a notice with your unique Exemption Certificate Number (ECN). If you have an exemption application pending from the Marketplace, you should wait until you receive either the denial or approval before continuing. If your application is pending and you need to file your federal tax return, see the Instructions for Form 8965. Information You May Need Filing status. Whether you can claim any dependents.
