Tax Advice

Hello!

I was an employee for the first 6 months of this year and then became an independent contractor for that employer starting in July because I relocated states. From what I've read, I can just file a 1040 return & fill out a Schedule C to report my self-employment income and expenses? 

My husband and I usually file married filing joint but since starting 2023 I will be self-employed full time and more than likely have to file my taxes quarterly, I'm assuming we will have to start filing separately?

 

Thank you!
