NYS requires me to efile, but since my spouse is a nonresident alien, my file has errors and therefore must be printed.

From what I understand, New York State does not accept printed tax returns. My spouse is a non-resident alien and therefore does not have an SSN. I also left "Part IV, Line 2 AGI" blank because he did not file a US or NYS tax return. We are married filing separately and we both live/work abroad.

How am I supposed to file? Please help.

New York does accept printed tax returns. You are required to e-file your NY return IF "your software supports the electronic filing of your return." Since TurboTax does not allow you to e-file your NY return you are not required to e-file. Print the tax return and file it by mail.
