Can my husband and I file jointly when we each have 1099-NEC income?

I filled out the Federal 1040 with schedule 1, schedule C, and schedule SE for 1099-NEC income for both my husband and myself. We each had 1099-NEC income along with W-2 income. Can we still file married filing jointly? I did everything on paper and I filled out those 3 schedules for each of us and added the totals together to put on the main 1040 form, is that correct? Or do we have to file seperately and lose the EIC?

 

Also, if on schedule SE, on line 4c, where it says stop if less than $400 that we don't owe, that I don't fill out any more information on that form and just attach it? It might sound silly to question this, but I feel like it's a trap!!
