Every divorcing taxpayer has to go through this, every divorce lawyer knows it, and I would be very surprised if the two attorneys couldn’t work it out so that you would get your spouse’s SSN.
If not, you will have to print your return and mail it in, you can’t e-file. You may have to give a TurboTax a fake SSN in order to allow it to proceed to the printing step. Make sure you erase this or cover it with white out before mailing your return. Attached a letter or a written statement to your tax return that explains that you could not obtain your spouse’s SSN, and give your spouse’s name, address, date of birth, at any other identifying information that you do know.
