Spouse's social security number is invalid. The spouse in a NRA who live abroad. Client wants to file MFS on 1040. System still require to have spouse's SSN or ITIN.

IRS requires to put "NRA" on non-resident spouse SSN, but pro connect does not have that option. Does that mean I have to paper file it?
