No, your income cannot be claimed on her separately filing return.
In almost all circumstances, filing one Married Filing Jointly results in a better tax rate than filing two Married Filing Separately returns.
There are several credits that cannot be claimed on Married Filing Separately returns.
You could use TurboTax and compare the total tax you both would owe by filing each way with doing test returns in the program. Then, choose the option that is best and file that way. But as I say, 9 out of 10 times, it is advantageous to file Jointly.
