How do I file my taxes when separated?

Q: My wife and I separated in July. She is in the house. How do I file my taxes? --George, Bedford

The following answer was provided by William Colangeli CPA, O'Malley & Colangeli CPAs PC, Bedford.

A: Generally George, your choices will be 'married filing joint' or 'married filing separate'. I say generally because there are other factors which could affect how you file such as any children involved, whether you both lived in the same house while separated among other things.
