I am unsure who told you to file single.  Perhaps the person was referring to this IRS publication.

 

IRS Publication 17 Your Federal Income Tax, here, page 22, states:

 

Unmarried persons

 

You are considered unmarried for the whole year if, on the last day of your tax year, you are either: 

 

  • Unmarried, or 
  • Legally separated from your spouse under a divorce or separate maintenance decree. State law governs whether you are married or legally separated under a divorce or separate maintenance decree.
