    You will need to print and mail your return as you will not be able to e-file without her SSN.

    If you filed jointly in the past you can see it on that return. If not, as advised, mail your return. If you can’t get passed entering a social security number in the program enter a dummy one and cross it out on the return you send to the IRS.

    And just in case....you can't file MFJ without her agreeing to do so.

     

    Unless she agrees to filing jointly (and giving you her SSN), you would have to file MFS for 2024.

     

    (IF divorce wasn't final before the end of 2024)
