I don't have to file taxes for 2019 since I got my social security number late in the year and didn't make enough to necessitate filing. I am married but the stimulus registration is not allowing me to register without saying my husband and I are filing separately.

I just want to submit my information to register for the stimulus. If I say "filing jointly" would that later affect us since he's filing separately?

If you are both filing separately, you will want to register as "single" in the stimulus registration tool. Please do not choose "Married filing jointly" if you do not plan to jointly file.

I attempted to put "single" on my registration form and I was rejected.

My wife filed taxes earlier this year but she filed "Married Filing Separately".

It tells me that I'm rejected because I'm listed on her return.

What should I do?

You should file as married filing separate. You will have to take your deductions the same way she did. That is Standard Deduction, or Itemized Deductions.
