Married Filing Jointly. If you are married, you and your spouse can choose to file a joint return. If you file jointly, you both must include all your income, deductions, and credits on that return. You can file a joint return even if one of you had no income or deductions.
You write your first name followed by the first letter of your first middle name, then the first letter of your second middle name then your full last name. So George Harrison James Slobotnik is written as George H.J. Slobotnik.
The primary Taxpayer is whoever is listed first on the tax return. This does not have to be the one with more income or who owes or pays more in tax. There is no right way to designate the primary Taxpayer vs. Spouse, and how it is done does not change how the taxes are calculated.
Your Middle initial is not required. All that matters is that the IRS system matches the Social Security number. If youve previously filed with a middle initial thats DIFFERENT form another middles initial (or if last name was wrong) you might get a request for identity verification.

In various cultures, a middle name is a portion of a personal name that is written between a persons given name and surname. A middle name is often abbreviated and is then called middle initial or just initial. First/given, middle, and last/family/surname diagram with John Fitzgerald Kennedy as example.
The order of the names on the tax return makes absolutely no difference (except that, as xmasbaby0 said, they should not switch the order from one year to the next). If either spouse has an ITIN they cannot claim the EIC. It doesnt matter which spouse has the ITIN.
Whose name goes first has absolutely no impact on tax liability, so in one sense it does not matter at all. But the name order by gender is undeniably non-random. The mans name is more likely to go first when most of the couples income is earned by him. Its also seen more among older joint filers.
