I'm married with a child but filing separately as I am seeking a legal separation from my spouse. I am receiving error message "Form 2441: MFS spouse earned incoming must be entered". Have I done something wrong or am I required to get in contact with my estranged spouse to enter his earned income simply because I am claiming a child as my dependent?

look at the 'personal' section and look at how you answered the questions about your spouse. somewhere in there is what i suspect is triggering the request for his earned income
there is a question about whether he lived with you from July 1 to Dec 31 and if you answer no, there is another question whether he lived with you at all during the year. I suspect the problem is somewhere in here.
Still have questions?
