Maybe - Only if you lived separately from July 1, 2016 on.
A married taxpayer whose spouse did not live in the home during the last six months of the tax year can be "considered unmarried" for tax purposes. If this is the case, you will be able to use a filing status of "Single" or "Head of Household" (if you have dependents) which are usually more beneficial tax wise.
