xp: Tax Question

If DH is the only working member in our "household" does that make me a dependant?
and would we still file under "married filing jointly?"

Thanks!

Yes on married filing jointly.

From the IRS site here is the other answer:. Your spouse is never considered your dependent. On a joint return, you may claim one exemption for yourself and one for your spouse. If you?re filing a separate return, you may claim the exemption for your spouse only if they had no gross income, are not filing a joint return and were not the dependent of another taxpayer.  https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=202335,00.html 

I hope this helps!
