That’s great that things worked out for you, but you can also understand that since this goes against the instructions provided by the IRS and various software packages, I am not going to give that advice in this forum.

 

@Equardo it looks like some of the big companies are finally catching up to e-filing with a non-resident alien spouse, see this from Turbotax: https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-credits-deductions/file-taxes-spouse-nonresident-alien/L4AuRKrMd_US_en_US

 

Oh that would be great if their mentioned process goes through and allow for e-file with no SS# for the spouse. I was looking at other online service I had used previous years but they don't have this option at all. That's a big help!

Just an update - for calendar year 2023, I filed my US tax return online today as Married Filing Single. On Form 1040, I only entered my wife's full name and left the SS # field blank. After a couple iterations of correcting some calculation errors, my return was successfully accepted by IRS. Phhewww! hopefully closed and behind me now. Will wait to see when the transcript becomes available.
