You can both file separately, but filing jointly almost always works out to your advantage. I am a tax accountant and very rarely advise married couples to file separately unless they meet very specific criteria.

Yes, you do not have to file married jointed return. Also look into doing a head of household for one of you as well.

I believe you can. You both have to check the boxes "married filing separately". I don't believe you can file as if you were single. I believe the only two choices are "married filing jointly" or "married filing separately".

It is your choice. You can filed married joint or married filing separate. It typically works out better to file joint, because many taxpayer benefits are not allowed when you are married filing separate.

You can file separate, but married. I believe that it turns out the same anyways.

You can, but you'd have to file as married filing separately - that will usually cost you extra tax money.

If the 1099 was for self employed income you have to use a 1040. You use a Schedule C to report the income and the deductions for the 1099. Your w-2 wages go on line 1
