Should I file separate or with my husband, he gets SSI only and I work fulltime

In almost all situations, it is more beneficial to file Married Filing Jointly than Married Filing Separately even when one spouse has no or little income.

You will likely find that the total tax you owe is more for the MFJ.

Please read this TurboTax FAQ for more information:
