Salaried Spouse (W-2) and Self Employed Spouse

Hi,

 

My spouse is employed, W-2 employee, and I am considering starting a small business, where I will be the sole owner. We want to be as close to a $0 refund as possible. 

 

Do we account for any income or losses the business generates on our W-4?

 

Would this be considered two total jobs on the W-4 or would it just be counted as one total job?

 

We typically file married filing jointly, but for our goal of receiving a $0 refund/owing, would it be better to file married filing separately?

 

Thank you for your assistance!
