Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Generally, you should file as married filing jointly, and list all your combined income, deductions and credits.  This is allowed even if one spouse does not work, and married filing jointly usually has lower tax than married filing separately, because some credits are disallowed or reduced when filing separately.  Also, depending on the type of disability income your spouse might receive, it might be taxable and he might be required to file a separate return if you also file separately.
