Can I file without my wife's SSN? Filing separately and not claiming her. She has nothing to do with my taxes. We are not together, just haven't filed a divorce.

We are married on paper only and have nothing to do with each other.

The IRS regulations state that you should enter your spouse's social security number and you won't be able to e-file your return without it. You can mail your return in without the number, but it may get rejected or it may delay the processing of it.
