Did you just get married in 2017? Yes you should file a Joint return. You will get a personal exemption for each of you. That's the same as claiming a dependent. A spouse is never a dependent. You just file as Joint which is 1 return combined for the both of you. You will have to enter his SS and SSDI. It may or may not be taxable.
Up to 85% of Social Security becomes taxable when all your other income plus 1/2 your social security, reaches:
Married Filing Jointly: $32,000
Single or head of household: $25,000
Married Filing Separately: 0
