You should file as Married Filing Jointly even if one spouse has little or no income. You receive the highest standard deduction of $12,700 and you each receive a personal exemption of $4,050 (2017)

I am considering retiring. How does receiving Social Security affect my taxes? Is Socially Security taxable Federal Income and/or State income Taxed?
