Just file a joint return. Who she works for is irrelevant.
Standard professional guidance says to prepare both joint and separate returns and go with whichever way results in the lower total tax liability. Most folks will come out best with a joint return though.
You can file as married filing jointly (MFJ) or married filing separately. In most cases, it is better to file as MFJ. Read http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/02/fili鈥?/a>
