Thanks for the response. appreciate it! I have moved to another state but the same company while my wife doing job in my old state. Since my new location is 800 miles away from my home, I need to rent apt./room to stay there along with all the expenses come with it.
You are still allowed to file jointly even if you are living apart, and it will probably save you considerably on taxes. Many deductions and credits are disallowed or reduced if you file separately.
As mentioned by others, you don't qualify to file HOH, and your spouse does not qualify if you lived together for even one night after July 1, 2019.
