How do I claim my illegal immigrant spouse?

[kennethdarlington]

I know I have to file as married filing separately. I have found that you should leave the SSN blank or enter NRA for non resident alien, but Turbo Tax does not let me do either. How do I do this in Turbo Tax?

In the My Info section of TurboTax you can check the box under the heading "Do any of these apply to [Name]?" that reads "[Spouse] is a nonresident alien or dual-status alien spouse. 

This, and your spouse's name, will allow you to file your return using the Married Filing Separately (MFS) filing status without a Social Security or Individual Taxpayer Identification number.
