Expatriate with foreign spouse - ATX problem, I think

[jasdlm]

I am trying to file Married filing Separate for an ex-pat with a foreign spouse.  I had not trouble last year simply putting 'non-resident' in the name section and leaving the ssn blank.  This year, ATX won't let me create an efile because I have no SSN.  Do I have to paper file this return?

 

No tax is due.  Taxpayer is well under the exemption amount.

 

Thanks in advance!

I've found several instances where I've had to paper file ex-pat returns and this is one of them.
