Since only your spouse is in New York and you are a nonresident of New York, you do have the option of filing separately in New York. However, if you are using TurboTax Online, you will have to create a mock federal return to prepare the separate New York state return but you would only file the state return. You would need to mail it as well.

Please see How do I prepare a joint federal return and separate state returns? for guidance on preparing the New York return within TurboTax.
