It is hard with filing Separate because you cannot claim some credits you maybe entitled to. Generally, filing jointly will give you a bigger refund or less taxes due. When you file separately, your tax rate is higher and you won't be able to claim:

Education benefits
Earned Income Credit (EIC)
Child and Dependent Care Credit (usually)
Adoption Credit (usually)
The same benefit married filing jointly couples get for personal exemptions, itemized deductions, the Child Tax Credit, and capital losses (all of these deductions are reduced by half)
Itemized deductions if your spouse has already claimed the standard deduction, or the other way around.
