Hi ashp0121,
Thank you for allowing me to answer this question for you. As you note in your question, you are married but presently unable to file with your spouse because of his refusal to do so. You did not mention if there were children or when the separation occurred. If there are children, and your separation began before June, it is safe to say that you could file Head of Household. and claim any dependent that lived with you greater than 6 months. If there are no dependents in the home and there is no legal separation, your only choices are married filing jointly or married filing separately.
If your husband decides not to file with you, than you can still file married filing separately. You will not need his income in that case but will need to include his social security number and name on your tax return
on your taxes.
Good luch to you!
