No. Your only options are Married Filing Jointly (MFJ), if you can agree to do so, or Married Filing Separately (MFS)

Thank You!

If I can claim a dependent head of household would be a filing option correct?

If I can claim a qualifying* dependent, head of household (HOH) would be a filing option; but only if you and your spouse did not live together at any time after July 1, 2019.

*Your dependent must be closely related.
