Yes, all income is reported for both of you when filing Married Filing Jointly.

However, if the Social Security benefits are the Only income to be reported on the tax return, then there is no reason or need to file a tax return.

Yes. There is no age at which you become exempt from paying tax. And if you are married it will be better to file a joint return. If you file separate returns more of his SS will be taxable. His SSA1099 goes on your joint return.

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.
