The designation of using a number to represent the filing status on line 5 of Form 8936 will not cause your return to reject. If that field were causing issues, then anyone filing a return with Form 8936 would have been rejected and TurboTax would have addressed the problem.
The IRS Instructions for Form 8936 line 5 does not address exactly how that field should be entered. The main point of it is to apply the correct limitation based on the previous year filing status. As long as that is being done, the exact entry in line 5 will not matter.
