You cannot file as single. You can file as married filing jointly or married filing separately.

Married under 6 months can you still file single?
If you are considered married at the end of the year, you can never file single. If you don't want to file jointly with your spouse, you can choose "married filing separately." Under rare circumstances where you have not lived with your spouse at all during the last six months of the year, your spouse is not returning, and you meet the other qualifications for head of household, you may file as Head of Household. Frequently it's better to file as married filing jointly though...especially if one has a high and the other a low income.
