You can file as Married Filing Jointly, Married Filing Separately, or as Head of Household if you lived separately from your husband for the last 6 months of 2022, and have a dependent.

You can prepare your return in TurboTax to print and mail, with Form W-7 attached to apply for an ITIN for your husband. Write 'NRA' in the space for his SSN.

Here's more detailed info on Filing with Non Resident Spouse .
