I am independent contractor and my spouse is W2. Does my estimated tax payment include his income?

Hi, 

I never had income before 2021 and now I am an independent contractor (1990) and my husband is a W2 employee. I read that I need to pay quarterly estimated tax. I have 3 questions:

 

1. Should I include his W2 Income in my estimated taxes since we are going to fill it jointly at the end of the year?

 

2. I did not file any quarterly taxes but I always set aside my income for annual tax. Will I get a penalty?

 

3. For those in the same condition as me, how did you do it?
