What type of water heater is it?

Quote7.27.1
A water heater, unless of the direct-vent type, shall not be installed in a bathroom, bedroom, or any enclosure where sleeping accommodation is provided.

A power vent water heater may be installed in an enclosure adjacent to a bedroom or bathroom provided adequate combustion air per clause 8.2.6 is provided to the enclosure. This combustion air supply shall not be supplied from the bedroom or bathroom.

A natural draft water heater may be installed in an enclosure that is accessed by a pedestrian door which can be opened from a bathroom or bedroom, provided that the enclosure has a volume equal to or greater than the bathroom or bedroom.

Its a power vented water heater.

Can we clear that tag by removing  bedding from that space?

Remove the bed.
Have customer sign invoice that tag was cleared after they removed the bed.
Or
If it's in a room adjacent to the bedroom. Provide combustion air
