You would select the "NO, filing separately or Head of Household" answer if you want your filing status to be "Married Filing Separately".
You will then enter your spouse's identifying information and answer a few more questions to get to the correct filing status.
Note that married filing separately vs married filing jointly eliminates several potential credits and deductions as well as using higher tax rates.

Use Chrome browser incognito window or use Chrome and clear all browser data before signing into TurboTax.
