File Married Jointly or Separate it my husband was a 1099 employee last year until September and I was a W2 Salary Employee.

We were married in Feb. 2023 and never changed our tax withholding from zero/ single. He was a 1099 employee last year until September and I was a W2 salary all year long. Is it smarter to file married separately or jointly in this circumstance?

 

I made a significant amount more than him last year, so I don't know if this will screw us over or not. Someone please help! We're totally lost and are afraid we screwed up by not changing our withholding.
