My husband moved to the US and became resident in 2019. He had no US income in 2018 and will not file a return. I have chosen married filing separately. Is this correct?

Whether or not you file jointly or separately is your choice but generally, if you are married it is more advantageous to file jointly. The following TurboTax article was written to help couples decide the best way to file. Should You and Your Spouse File Taxes Jointly or Separately?

thanks, i'm not really concerned about the credits aspect of it. I'm just worried that I am stating that my husband is filing separately, when he is in fact not filing at all due to him being non resident in 2018.
