I have no idea what she's doing I have no spoke with her, but i need to file my taxes. Do i file with my w-2s and not worry about any of the house stuff, and do i file married seperated or single?

Although it's probably the last thing you want to do, you absolutely need to contact your ex-wife on this to determine her filing status and what (if any deductions she may be taking). There are some questions you need to answer before you proceed:- Have you legally filed for divorce or are you just separated?- Do you have legal representation?- Are their any children involved (this has a bearing on if you can file as Head of Household)?- Is the house only in her name?This is too complex an issue to not get some serious professional advice before you proceed (either a good divorce attorney and/or accountant). If you make assumptions on your filing status without knowing for sure what your ex is doing the IRS will become the "referee" to sort things out.And please trust when I say, you don't want the IRS in the middle of this because it will only complicate matters by a factor of 10. Get things sorted with her and then file. Good luck.
