Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your best filing status is married filing joint provided you have obtained an ITIN (which I assume you have since you have a W2). 

 

Since you maintained separate residences you can file your New Jersey return with your husband as a resident and you as a non-resident so that New Jersey doesn't tax your income.
