You can still file a joint return with your husband. Since your divorce is not final yet and you don't have children, you have to file either Married filing jointly or Married filing separately (you can't file as Single). It is generally better to file Married filing jointly. Which status is better - MFJ or MFS?
Your tax return must be signed to be valid. If you are married and file jointly, then you and your spouse must both sign the return. This is done electronically if you e-file your return. If your spouse has a valid power of attorney to attach with the return, then you can sign for him. You can also use IRS Form 2848 to sign for him and be able to e-file. You can also file the joint return by mail. If you file jointly by mail, you can print the return and have him sign it manually and then mail it in to the IRS. If you file separately, you do not need his signature and can e-file without the power of attorney.
