@Kutiemee Let's back up. Above, you said he "did not make enough to file this year." Did you mean he made NO income at all? Zero? Or just that he made a small amount of income? "He is not claiming any income"-----is not the same as he did not have any income. Does he/will he have a W-2 or a 1099NEC for any 2024 income---employers and clients have until January 31 to issue them.
If you are filing a joint return, you do not get to just disregard your spouse's income, even if he only had a small amount of income. ALL of your income goes on a joint return, even if one of the spouses had only a little bit of income.
