South Carolina, Schedule NR: spouse was part-time resident, I never was. TurboTax won't let me leave my dates of residency blank.

Background:

  • I have always been a resident of Virginia.
  • My spouse lived in SC for less than 2 months.
  • We filed a joint federal return.
  • Within EasyStep, I selected "Nonresident OR part-year resident filing as nonresident"
  • I specified that I did not live in SC and that my spouse did.
  • I entered my spouse's dates of residency
  • When I checked for errors, it said that my dates of residency can't be blank

I went to forms view to look at SC Schedule NR 2023 and am finding that my dates of residency match my spouse's. I tried to erase the dates and I've tried writing "00/00/0000" and "N/A" but nothing is working. 

 

The good thing is that we're correctly reporting my spouse's income from SC and saying that I had no SC income. Even though I'm not seeing a difference in the outcome, I'm bothered by these dates being incorrect for me. Does it even matter?
