You may but probably not. What you fail to consider is that after you enter one person's income, all of the money is being taxed at married-filing joint tax rates. When you do the returns separately, each filers income will be taxed at the higher married-separate rates. So, at best it may even out. But you will have to try it both ways to see which is best.
