    You will answer that you are married but he lives outside of the country and do not claim the spousal amount. If a Social Insurance Number is required, you can enter 000000000.

     

    Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

    I have a similar situation.  I am a returning Candian.  I got married two years ago while living in Sweden.  My wife is living with me in Canada while I sponsor her, and we wait for her permanent residency application to process.  She is registered as my dependent, and she doesn't have a social insurance number yet.  I'm not able to pass certain steps in TurboTax with this situation.  Please advise.

    @dempsey55491 You can enter 000000000 (9 zeros) as her SIN number.
