Yes.
Married filing jointly - Most married couples choose to file under this status as most find they save the most money in taxes this way. A married couple may file jointly even if only one spouse earned income or if they lived separately for the entire year. When you file jointly, both people are assuming responsibility for the taxes owed. That means if your spouse skips out on his share of the taxes, you may be held responsible for it. However, the Innocent Spouse Rule can provide some relief to a spouse who was unaware of a partner's wrongdoings concerning taxes. In order to file jointly, you must meet any of the following requirements:
* You were married as of the last day of last year
* Your spouse died during the last year and you did not remarry in that year
* Your spouse died this year, but before you filed your tax return for last year

Yes. Both incomes will be entered on the return, as well as any deductions, including personal deduction.

Yes, but you should have a better reason than that to get married.
