Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you can seek the protection of a Limited Liability Company (single member) and file a joint return.   You would get an EIN and run the business that way.   You can file your taxes for a single member LLC on the Schedule C of your form 1040 that you file with your spouse.  If you decide to incorporate, you will have to do a separate tax return for the business.

Just a word of caution, please check with your state to see if there are specific rules regulations and fees for your LLC.
