You claim a child as a tax dependent who’s been denied coverage for Medicaid and CHIP for 2017, and another person is required by court order to give medical support to the child. In this case you don’t have to pay the penalty for the child.

You were determined ineligible for Medicaid because your state didn’t expand eligibility for Medicaid in 2017 under the Affordable Care Act
Your "grandfathered" individual insurance plan (a plan you’ve had since March 23, 2010 or before) was canceled because it doesn’t meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act and you believe other Marketplace plans are unaffordable
You had another hardship. If you experienced another hardship obtaining health insurance, use this form to describe your hardship and apply for an exemption.
