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.

@DoninGA well the thing is, I don't know if he is or isn't a permanent resident. I've been told they can buy faked legal docs and just because I've seen a supposed social security card and a supposed permanent resident card does not mean they were real. He only had a Mexican passport but no driver license in the state we lived in. I have no way of printing anything to mail either. I don't understand why I won't be allowed to e-file just because I married a loser. I can't even file for divorce because of my current financial situation and I am not able to get help with anything without incurring some type of charge.
Since you do not know if he has any type of SSN or ITIN then using the procedure I provided will let you file your tax return as Married Filing Separately.
You need speak to an attorney for how to dissolve this marriage.
@DoninGA thanks but as I stated I have no way of printing to mail anything, nor do I have the ability to file for divorce. I appreciate your help anyway. I guess I'll unfortunately just have to skip filing my taxes this year and let the government fine me and keep the few dollars I was gonna get back.
Even if you do not personally have a printer, you can download the PDF of the tax return. Copy the PDF to an external USB drive and take the PDF to a friend, relative that has a printer. Or go to a local Office Max or Office Depot or a UPS store to print the tax return.
