Tape the backerboard with the fiberglass mesh tape and some thinset. Let it dry before you tile and thinset again.

Also I would use some redguard or a similar waterproofing over the concrete board, under the tile..only if this is in a shower.

I second the RedGard waterproofing layer.

Areas outside the shower, do not get as much water and don't need the redgard sealer, but all joints should be taped.

Yup...what he said...
Basically , save it for the wet areas. I also include the wall where a shower door may get installed, a wet area. Just as a precaution against any water damage later on.
Good luck...and by the way...there are no dumb questions...just answers sometimes!
