In that case, you will need to print your return and mail it to the IRS along with a form W-7, which is a request to assign her an ITIN.  There's no way to file faster without doing that procedure.  For Turbotax, leave the SSN blank, or if it won't even let you print, then put in a fake tax number to get through the interview (try 999-88-9999) and use some white-out to cover it up on the printed copy before you mail it in.

Mail the tax return, the W-7, and the required proof for the W-7 to the address in the W-7 instructions, which may be different than the normal address you mail your tax returns to.
