you can file married filling seperate. that is a filing status, but it has a few draw backs most of the time. I have seen a few returns when it is actually benefitial to do it.

If you are married you have the option to file Married Filing Separate, but filing this way will disallow you from certains credits and may increase the amount you owe.or reduce the amount of the refund
the Standard Deduction for Married filing Jointly is 10,500.00
the Standard Deduction for Married filing separate is 5,125.00

What a vauge question. Whether or not he worked last year, you should claim him on your taxes because you will be able to use him as an exemption and potentially get more money back from the government. If you are filing seperately, then no, do not claim him on your taxes. My dad had a heart attack last year and did not work the entire year. My mom had him on her taxes AND was able to file him as a dependant and get earned income credit because of him. It wasn't a ton, but it was an extra hundred bucks. The government nickels and dimes us as much as they possibly can. Tax season is sweet redemption!
Hope this helps!
