If you are legally married and living together you can only file your tax return as either Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately.  Filing separately is the worst possible way to file a tax return when you are married.

 

Why are you not filing jointly?  See this TurboTax support FAQ for filing jointly versus separately - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/married/help/is-it-better-for-a-married-couple-to-file-jointly-or-separately/01/25590
