Problems filing due to a Brit Spouse

Hello,

So, I'm just in the US on a brief trip and trying to file my taxes for the first time since getting married. My husband is British and we live and work in the UK, so he has no ties to America other than me. Was filling out my return on Turbo Tax as married, filing separately, and it wants an SSN for him, but of course, he doesn't have one, or any other tax ID number for America. So now, Turbo Tax won't let me file. Any ideas? Just print it out and send it in, instead of e-filing? Is there something special I need to do? Thank you so much! 

Turbo tax won't allow you to file electronically.  You can print and mail.

I use Tax Act.  It's free and has a little box to tick that your spouse is a NRA without a SS number.

Awesome - thanks for the advice!  I was just worried because I called Turbo Tax and they seemed to think I needed to file for some sort of alternative identification number for him, but as he has literally nothing to do with the US tax or work-wise himself, that didn't seem to make sense. Do you know if I should just put "N/A" or something similar in the box on the IRS form where they want the SSN? Don't want them to think I've forgotten it!

Most folks would simply follow IRS instructions and write NRA in the box and file on paper by mail. If you want to claim an exemption for an NRA spouse he'd have to apply for an ITIN.
