As long as you are still married you should choose to file using the married filing joint status on your 1040 federal income tax return.
Other wise your filing status would be married filing a separate tax return.
MFJ you would have 2 exemption to start with on the MFJ income tax return.
If she did not work she would not have any earned income that would have to be added to your earned income on the 1040 tax form.

If I'm married and my 2009 income is only 2000 do I need to file a tax return in 2010?
You probably aren't required to file a return. Generally, if you're Married Filing Jointly under age 65, you're not required to file a return if your gross income for 2009 is under $18,700. Although you're not required to file, you should file if you're eligible for certain credits, such as earned income or making work pay.
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.

On tax form what do you pay on 5000.00?
Generally, Single under age 65 isn't required to file a tax return for earned income under $9,350 for 2009.

Your income is zeroed out by your standard deduction. So you owe no taxes. Although you're not required to file, you should file in certain situations. One, you should file for a refund of any withheld tax. Two, you should file if you're eligible for certain credits (such as earned income, making work pay, etc.).
