This is my husband and I's first time doing our taxes as married filing jointly but our income together is over the limit to get EIC. I didn't work much throughout the year so I took off my husband's's income and just filed myself and our two kids and got way more money. So can my husband do a separate return, file married jointly and just put his income and no dependents?

If you file jointly, you report all income from both spouses on the same return. If you file separately, you are not eligible for the Earned Income credit and other tax credits.
