A Spouse can never be claimed as a dependent.

You would want to file as Married Filing Jointly even if one spouse has little or no income.  You receive the highest Standard Deduction.

No, you cannot claim your spouse a a dependent.

 

When you are married and living together, you can only file a tax return as either Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately. You would want to file as Married Filing Jointly even if your husband has no income.
