If you were marries at the end of 2014, your spouse cannot have lived in your home at any time during the last 6 months of the year.
Filing jointly would probably result in the lowest tax.
If you live in a community property state (Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, or Wisconsin) then the community property laws apply whether filing separately or HOH.

Since the community property laws are different is different states and apply differently to different situation you might want to consult with a tax professional in your area.
