    You need to file because your income is over 1000.00. If that's the case then try filing separately. Also check all your deductions really well. That may help offset you income if you file jointly. Check the IRS web site as to what deductions are allowed this year. You may have deductions you never really thought about. Contact leneses, glasses, med. Deductables, insurance premiuns, are often over looked, as well as doctor's visits are deductable. Work uniforms, work shoes, etc.

    Chippers advice is good.

    Yes, you have to file. It is likely that you will benefit MORE by filing jointly with your husband than filing separately.
