It will be the same although you can take it to court and testify == Your individual state laws may say otherwise, but you should be able to file "Married Filing Jointly. Your spouse incarecerated will have no reportable income, so should not affect the filing. It varies by state though, because inmates in many states are concidered wards of the state precluding them from filing at all. Check your state's laws.

What is a qualifying widow?
Qualifying widow/widower is a special filing status created to benefit parents whose spouse died. If a person has dependent children (school age children still living at home) and their spouse dies, they can use this special filing status for two years after the year the spouse died. It gives them the benefit of a joint filing status for those years as long as they have dependent children (this doesn't include adult children who aren't attending school).

Does the owner of the P.C. have to file a separate income tax return from his spouse if she isn't working?
A professional corporation (P.C.) might file as a single-member entity (sole proprietor), a partnership, or as a corporation. Each of these categories has its own specific income reporting form that has no connection to your filing status (Married Filing Jointly, Single, etc.). But you'd be filing a Form 1040 (U.S. Individual Income Tax Return) for non-professional corporation income, deductions, etc., and on your 1040 you and your spouse are Married Filing Jointly, even if your spouse doesn't work.
What if your spouse refuses to pay taxes on earned income?
I suggest not filing a joint return. Using the Married Filing Separately filing status will not allow you to claim some tax benefits and you won't have the benefits of combining your income, but it will save you if your spouse is audited. If you file jointly, you will be fully responsible for the taxes on the omitted income. Filing a joint return creates something called "joint & several liability" which means you are both responsible for the entire tax liability, even if it's later adjusted because one spouse omitted income or committed tax evasion. Read IRS Publication 971 to find out the difficulty of not being held responsible for your spouse's actions. That's why I recommend not filing a joint return with your spouse. The benefits will not be worth the cost if they are caught evading taxes.
