Used TurboTax for filing married filing separate return with nonresident alien spouse. I told TurboTax my spouse had no  income and wasn’t filing a return yet TurboTax asked me if my spouse will be filing using the standard deduction or itemizing. Why did they ask me this if she’s not working or filing a return I can’t get past this question - you have to answer and a choice Was Not None of the Above. What now???

Mention that the wife is using the Standard Deduction and that should clear up any doubt.
