DO NOT DO THIS. File what your marital status was, as of Dec 31/08. If you were living separate and apart from your spouse for more than 90 consecutive days (even if it goes in to the new year) file as separated. Filing a wrong marital status is one of the worst things that you can do on a tax return as it will screw a lot of things up.
