The TurboTax program will not  accept "999-88-999" as a valid SSN. 

You need to use viable "Dummy" SSN/ITINs for your dependents to prepare the return. 

You can use your own SSN/ITIN with different last numbers.  Or use "305-44-0001, 0002, 0003 etc.", a dummy number we use for training.

This should allow you to get through the Health Insurance interview, Smart Checks and Reviews and print your return for filing by mail. After printing, "erase" or white-out the dummy SSN/ITINs and replace with "Applied For".
