I made under $2k last year with side jobs. I'm married and filing separate. I have a w2, 1099-misc, and 1099-nec. Do I have to file my taxes this year?

My spouse makes all the income and does not have an itemized deduction.

According to the IRS, if you are married filing separate, you must file a tax return if your income is at least $5.  For more information see  IRS Publication 501
