If you are legally married and not legally separated according to the laws of your state then you can only file your tax return as either Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately.

However, if you have a dependent child and have provided over one-half of the cost to maintain your home you may be eligible for Head of Household filing status. See this for information - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/married/help/can-a-married-person-claim-head-of-household-filing-s...
