Fill it out both ways, and file whichever way gives you the bigger refund.
Almost always more advantageous to do MFJ than MFS, which are your only choices. . .particularly with a new house

It is almost always better to file jointly. But just run the numbers both ways when the time comes – then you’ll know for sure.
