I'm Married filing separately because my husband is a non-resident alien living in another country and doesn't have SSN or ITIN. However, I'm having trouble because the form asks me for the SSN or ITIN anyway. What do you suggest?

If you are a US citizen or US resident and your spouse does not have a Social Security number or an ITIN and you are not applying for an ITIN with the tax return then you can only file your tax return as Married Filing Separately. Where asked to enter the spouse's Social Security number enter 999-88-9999. You can only print and mail your tax return, it cannot be e-filed. When you print the tax return erase the Social Security number for your spouse and manually enter NRA for non-resident alien.
