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.

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.

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.
