Go back to My Info and edit your spouse's information.  On the screen labeled Tell us a bit more about (their Name) make sure that you have checked the box None of these apply.  And NOT the box (their Name) is a nonresident alien or dual-status alien spouse.  Continue with this section until completed.

Thank you for the response, The question about filing as a non-resident actually appeared before I was asked to verify my wife's status. The questions were OUT of ORDER. Once I "continued" then I was given the option to mark my wife's status as a resident.
