Hello,Is there a way to skip the section of SSN/ITIN in turbotax software? My wife doesn't have it and in order to apply, I need to attach completed tax return form.

You cannot "skip" the SSN/ITIN entry in TurboTax, but there is a solution to the problem.

The work-around for this situation is to use "Dummy" SSN/ITINs for your spouse or dependents to prepare the return. 

You can use your own SSN/ITIN with different last numbers.  Or use "305-44-0001, 0002, 0003 etc.", a dummy number we use for training.

This should allow you to get through the Smart Checks and Reviews and print your return for filing by mail. "Erase" or white-out the dummy SSN/ITINs and replace with "Applied For".
