Divorce Final 1/5/21

Do I still have to file taxes as married but separate having only been legally married 5 days?

You file your taxes based on your status as of 12/31. So, if you were divorced on 1/5/21 and did not remarry before 12/31 then you file as Single or Head of Household, whichever is more appropriate for you.

Please see What is my tax filing status (single, married, etc.)? for more information.
