Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you each file you own return.  You do not have to report each others income, etc.on your returns, just your own. But you do have to list your spouse's name and social security number on your return.  If one of you itemizes, the other spouse has to itemize (cannot take the standard deduction).  Also, if you live in a community property state, there are very specific rules about how you allocate income and deductions.
