Multi state filing puzzle....

My spouse and I got married in Minnesota. I moved to Nevada in late 2018, and established myself as a residence here while my spouse stayed back in Minnesota. 

 

He started going school beginning of last year in Minnesota, and has a W2 from one month of working in January but it's under the Minnesota filing requirement, and I have no Minnesota source income. 

 

I am wondering what is the best way to file this year's taxes. Are we going to have to file separately even though he only has few thousand dollars of income from Minnesota? Or can we file jointly, and skip the Minnesota state filing since he made under the threshold?
