Here are some additional steps for you to file as married filing separately with a nonresident alien (NRA) spouse. (Please note you will not be able to efile, you will only be able to file by mail.)
- leave NRA spouse's SSN
blank.
- hand-write "NRA" in
all of the places on your tax return that require your NRA spouse's SSN (IRS - Married Filing
Separately).
- skip the error check section
as long as your only error is missing spouse's SSN. (This includes errors related to the health insurance section.)
- mail in your return (you will
not be able to efile your tax return so choose "file by mail" in
TurboTax).
- mail to IRS address printed
with your return.
