My spouse & I are separated (not legally) and spouse lives in another country. How do I file? Married filing jointly, or Married filing separately?

Spouse has not contributed any income.

You may file either way - Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) or Married Filing Separately (MFS).

 

Please see this TurboTax FAQ: Is it better for a married couple to file jointly or separately?
