@nypdfinest911 - your only options are Married - Filing Joint and Married - Filing Separate.
96% of married couples filing JOINT because the tax laws motivate that behavior. (To me. that remaining 4% can't agree to both sign the tax return or are naive to how this works)
It is quite, quite unlikely that filing Separate is going to yield a better outcome. for example, since you state you are on social security, assuming you are living with your spouse, 85% of your social security is AUTOMATICALLY taxable.
