You are asking from TT Live, for which you paid extra. Please contact a rep.

No. There is no special tax advantage for new immigrants.

 

If your spouse is unemployed and has no income, you can still file jointly as a married couple. You will have a larger standard deduction and a lower tax bracket for your income.
