Married but not legally seperated

I am married but we are not living together. My husband lives in Ohio and I live in Washington State. We are not legally separated. The last tax year I filed with my husband was in 2015. I am wondering if I can go back to filing married despite not living together? My income took a jump this year and my employer did not withhold the correct amount of federal taxes out of my paycheck so I am needing the higher deduction. Also can I go back and amend the returns where I filed as head of household? Or should I just leave those returns alone? He is a disabled veteran so either way I file will not affect him due to he doesn't have any income due to receiving disability through the VA. Although he did purchase a home in 2020. Can anyone help me with this mess?
