How do i know if i should file jointly or separately

My husband and I have been separated since may of last year but are not divorced. He did not have enough taxes taken out and I did. Should I file separately?

Get your taxes done using TurboTax

In almost every case, you are better off filing jointly.  Your tax withholdings shouldn't affect your decision, since everything will be combined on a joint return.

You can do a what-if analysis here: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/calculators/taxcaster/
