I'm fully aware that I cannot file without an ITIN for my spouse. But what I'd like to do is to leave the SSN field empty for my spouse, and still continue to fill out the forms, so that I can print them and file by physical mail with the required W-7 form. The system didn't allow to continue to fill out the Health Insurance section without an ITIN. The solution was to put an arbitrary number there, and make sure to delete that field in the final printout. But this is just a workaround. Is there an actual solution?
