Deductions & credits

So then what is the difference between sending this information electronically vs mailing it?

 

i can manually erase it and send an empty form, but online i can't send the same info? 

 

That makes no sense. "you need to print the return and write in NRA in the place where your spouse's SSN would normally go": why can't the software take this into account and take NRA where the SSN goes.
