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?

Please read this helpful TurboTax article for more information: Should You and Your Spouse File Taxes Jointly or Separately?
