Marital status filing error

I have completed my taxes and I have one error as I file that prevents me from netfiling. I'm currently separated and all my marital status information is correctly filled out. I have been looping through this error for quite a while and have no idea how to fix it. Here's the error:

 

Your marital status cannot be single if you've entered information about your spouse/partner. Ensure that you've entered your marital status correctly, noting that if you were divorced, widowed or became separated in 2022, your marital status cannot be single.

To fix this error, you have to change your Marital Status to "Separated". 

 

Use the following steps to change your marital status in TurboTax Online:

  1. Select Find from the menu, enter Marital Status, and select Go
  2. On the What’s your marital status? step, change your status (and enter the date of change if it happened during the tax year), then select Continue
