Only IF in the state that that you are a resident of IF you are legally separated on the last day of the year, you should file either as single or as Head of Household (if you have children that live with you for more than 50% of the year).

Other wise your filing status would be married filing joint or on a separate 1040 federal income tax return MARRIED FILING SEPARATE.
