More details to this question:
I have been married for 8 years. I separated from my wife Nov 2011, and reside in my household at the present time. If I file taxes with my wife will that interrupt the separation time from my wife since NC law states you must be separated for 12month then you can be granted a divorce or will filing taxes together mean we still together in the same household?

Filing taxes jointly will not interfere with your separation. Separation is when you moved out with the intention of not being married anymore.
