If the tax return has received that reject, and neither the taxpayer nor anyone else in their household had health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace, you can add a statement to the return indicating this fact.

To add the ACA statement to a return that has rejected with code F8962-070 in Tax Processors Plus Online, open the return and navigate to the Health Insurance section.

Did you, your spouse, or a dependent have insurance under the Affordable Care Act?*
The IRS reports that you purchased an Affordable Care Act insurance plan. If that is correct please select Yes and complete the following questions. If you believe the IRS has made an error please select the option that best describes your situation.
