Help! I've been trying to do my taxes through Turbo Tax Live and suddenly I was informed that I cannot file through Turbo Tax Live because my spouse is an Non Resident Alien who lives in China with no SSN or ITIN. Why specifically does this stop me from using LIVE but I can do it just fine through paper?
I'm awful at filing taxes and last time I made a filing mistake the IRS still hasn't addressed my amendment. I need Turbo Tax Live, but please somehow let me know how we can add NRA as the field for their SSN field required for spouse, after all they are Chinese and have no connection to the US tax system.
I don't want to get charged for this service if I can't even file. Please help or add the feature just to simply type NRA into that field. Or perhaps since my marriage was exclusively done in China and their is no American paperwork proving our marriage may or should I file as Single.
Or can I just attach my Chinese Marriage Certificate copy to prove she is a Chinese national? Or can we have the final thing printed then physically write NRA on the Spouse SSN field, then scan it again and send that. Please I'm desperate and very bad at doing taxes, I'm very frightened.
