A DACA recipient who lives in California and is married to a citizen is a California resident. They are eligible to have a Social Security number.

So in this question "If filing electronically, is spouse a CA Nonresident?" I would select "NO" given she is technically considered a CA resident?  Thank you so much btw I am new to this

Correct.  When asked if your spouse is a nonresident, you would select No, since she is technically a resident.
