Filing Status

Hello!

 

My wife and I separated in September 2019.  We did not divorce or legally separate as of 12/31/20 and are now I am preparing for my 2020 Federal Tax return.  We did not live together for even 1 minute in 2020.  I plan on filing Single for 2020.  I cannot find anything that states that I cannot file Single.  Can you provide any insight into the IRS rules governing Filing status for my situation?

 

Thanks,

Steve
