Hi Pray777,
First of all, congratulations on your wedding! When you were single and your annual income was less than $12,550 (which is the 2021 standard deduction for a single taxpayer), you did not need to file tax because you did not owe tax and had no tax credit or withholding to claim. After getting married, you will want to include your new husband's income and see if filing the return as Married Filling Jointly will be the best option for your case. Generally, MFJ has more tax advantages than Married Filling Separately. Here is the link regarding "Does Everyone Need to File an Income Tax Return?"
It is hard to determine which filing status is the best for your case since everyone is different. However, we have a wonderful tool, Tax Calculator, can help you to find out if you will be getting a refund or tax liability if you file MFJ or MFS. If you are still uncertain on how to file your tax, please feel free to contact out TurboTax Live Expert. We can always assist you regarding your tax.
