You can't prepare and print
a tax return in TurboTax without an ITIN or SSN for you, your spouse and any
dependents. This limitation appears to come up first when you get to the Health Insurance interview, whether you plan to file as "Married, Filing Separately" or "Married, Filing Jointly "(see below)
The work-around for this situation is to use "Dummy" SSN/ITINs for your wife and any dependents. to prepare the return. You can use your own SSN/ITIN
with different last numbers.
Or use "305-44-0001, 0002, 0003 etc.", a dummy number
we use for training.
This should allow you to get through the Smart Checks and
Reviews and print your return for filing by mail. "Erase" or white-out the dummy SSN/ITINs and replace with
"Applied For".
