Question
Input for NRA spouse on a US citizen's MFS tax return
I am filing a 2025 1040 for a US citizen working abroad. He recently married a German citizen, a/k/a/ NRA to the US. For various reasons the US citizen will be filing MFS.
The dilemma....how to input NRA for the non-resident spouse? The proconnect input will not accept that even where IRS input states:
For MFS returns where the spouse is a nonresident alien (NRA) with no SSN/ITIN, the IRS explicitly instructs taxpayers to:
Leave the spouse SSN field blank, and
Write “NRA” on the dotted line next to the entry space.
This tells the IRS that the spouse is a nonresident alien and is not required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number for an MFS filing.
HELP?!
