I have a question about form 8965. My wife from Brazil came here at the end of April 2014 and we were married July 2014. She was added to my insurance on August 2014. We applied for AOS in October 2014. We got her SS# in February 2015. We are considering her as a Resident Alien as we signed the Declaration page and filed MFJ(I know she also meets the substantial presence test but thought this made it more clear).

My question is on form 8965 should we fill out the exemption type as letter C and for the full year? Or should we just exempt her for the months she wasn't covered under my insurance Jan-July? How do they know she had health insurance under my plan since she didn't have a SS# until February of 2015. Just want to make the easier declaration that won't leave a grey area when the IRS reviews our taxes.

We also filled out form 2555ez to exclude her money made in Brazil for the first 3 months of the year she worked there.

I also saw that someone mention exemption letter B for gaps of insurance. Would she be considered to have a gap from end of April to end of July? Or would I just label that as C also? I know for form 2555-ez she met the physical presence test for 12 month period since she was living in her home country before she came to the USA in April. This stuff is a pain. Any help would be appreciated. Wow I'm hating Obamacare right now. LOL!
