No SSN for ex spouse

Please keep all your related questions in one thread. Do not post multiple questions about the same issue.

Yesterday you said that your husband is a nonresident alien. Now you refer to him as your ex-spouse. Which is it?

An ex-spouse would not appear on your tax return, so you would not need his Social Security number.

You have now posted three separate questions about the same problem. Please choose one of the threads and continue the discussion in that one thread. Stop posting multiple questions about the same issue. It's too confusing and hard to follow, and hard to see the whole picture, if information is scattered in multiple threads. If you want to add more information, answer our questions, or post a follow-up question, add a reply to the one thread that you select.
