I started working 2 weeks before the end of the year. Do I have to file taxes?

If you are married you should file jointly with your spouse even if you had zero income. Certainly if you had a small W-2 at the end of the year you would include that on the tax return you file with your spouse.

Don't think about filing a separate tax return from your spouse - unless circumstances require. The tax benefits are significant to file jointly.

But what your wife and her 2014 income for your MFJ 2014 1040 FIT return during the 2015 tax filing season.

The company that you were working for should send you a W-2 form for the 2014 tax year IF any of that income that you did receive would be taxable income for your 2014 tax year for that purpose.

If he files jointly, then all income of yours must also be included. "Jointly" means together. He can't file jointly by himself. For anyone to file jointly, the person's spouse must also file.

If that's your only joint income for the year, no. The requirement to file depends on your (joint) total income for the year, including any unemployment compensation.

if you got a W-2 from that employee for 2014 you absolutely will include it in your joint return

Have to, no. Due a refund of anything withheld for federal taxes.

it is reasonable, turbo tax may have cost less and you could have had fun preparing it.
