I filled out a w2 for work and put I was married but filing separately. I didn’t think that would affect anything but I am not getting taxed state or federal just SS and medical. My paychecks are about 200-500 every two weeks. My boss told me I wasn’t getting taxed because I’m married and said I wouldn’t owe at the end of the year, but that doesn’t sound right. My husband and I don’t file together and never have. What should I do or does anyone have advice, this just doesn’t sound right.

It sounds like you are probably okay.
IF you and your spouse use the Standard Deduction (rather than Itemizing), your Standard Deduction is $12,000. So as long as your total annual income is under $12,000 (an average of $460 every two weeks), you won't owe any Federal tax, in which case it is perfectly okay to not have any Federal income tax withheld from your pay. However, your State might be different.
