Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can just give your spouse's name in the note. Your tax return will not be rejected because of the lack of your spouse's SSN. It just cannot be e-filed.

 

This IRS document says, on page 3-5:

 

A spouse who is Married Filing Separately is not required to provide the Social Security card for the other spouse, although the return cannot be e-filed without the spouse’s Social Security number.
