The only filing options without a dependent are MFS or MFJ. The spouse SSN of NRA means paper file. For other options, see Nonresident Alien Spouse | Internal Revenue Service.

You can enter "NRA". Ignore the error.
When you e-file it, you need to e-file it from HomeBase and then disable error-checking.

Go back to TurboTax if you want to keep displaying your ignorance. It's bad enough around here with people who pay for the software, without Intuit employees butting in.
A U.S. citizen/resident married to a Nonresident Alien (NRA) can file as Head of Household (HoH) if they pay >50% of household costs, have a qualifying dependent (not the spouse), and do not treat the spouse as a resident.
If you don't have all the facts . . . don't assume them and then claim your answer is the only one.
