If she does not receive a Form SSA-1099 then nothing should be entered for the SS income for her.

OK. But it does not allow me to continue the last step.

Or are you stating that she does not have a Social Security number?

If this is the case, then -

 

If you are a US citizen or US resident and your spouse does not have a Social Security number or an ITIN and you are not applying for an ITIN with the tax return then you can only file your tax return as Married Filing Separately.  Where asked to enter the spouse's Social Security number enter 999-88-9999.  You can only print and mail your tax return, it cannot be e-filed.  When you print the tax return erase the Social Security number for your spouse and manually enter NRA for non-resident alien.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for the procedure to print and mail a tax return using the online editions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1944348-how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online

Sorry, next step for what?  If you receive Social Security benefits reported on a SSA-1099 then you only enter your benefits on the TurboTax SSA-1099 web page and nothing is entered for your spouse.

Are you in the correct section of the program?

 

Enter ssa-1099 in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ssa-1099
