Married couples do not "claim" each other ... they file a joint tax return no matter who made what.

So you both should file a Joint return.  Joint means 1 return combined for the both of you.  You will get a personal exemption for each of you.  An exemption is the same as claiming a dependent.  Do you have any children?

Any scholarships or grants?
