Husband changed jobs, took a 2 month break. He didn't file for unemployment during this time. Is there anything different we need to do when we file this year?

My husband changed jobs last year. He didn't file for unemployment during this time. He didn't have any income coming in. Is there something different we need to do when we file? How can this affect our taxes?

No, you can file as usual. If you file as Married Filing Jointly, your taxable income maybe lower (since he took 2 month break) than last year which which may result in a lower tax bracket and a higher refund.
