My question is I'm a US citizen and got married 9/21/24 to my husband who came on a K1 visa who is now waiting for his green card and no workers permit. Just seeing how do we do are taxes?

If you are a US citizen or US resident and your spouse does not have a Social Security number or an ITIN and you are not applying for an ITIN with the tax return then you can only file your tax return as Married Filing Separately. Where asked to enter the spouse's Social Security number enter 999-88-9999. You can only print and mail your tax return, it cannot be e-filed. When you print the tax return erase the Social Security number for your spouse and manually enter NRA for non-resident alien.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for the procedure to print and mail a tax return using the online editions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1944348-how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online
If you decide to file your tax return as Married Filing Jointly you must apply for an ITIN with the tax return and you would need to be providing a statement with your tax return that you want your Nonresident Alien Spouse Treated as a Resident. See IRS Publication 54 Tax Guide for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad page 9 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p54.pdf

thank you and we do have the social security number, so do I still do the same thing in your response for filing?

If you wish to file as Married Filing Jointly then you will have to report all income from all sources, foreign and domestic, for both of you on one tax return. You will be able to e-file the 2024 tax return since SS numbers will be used for each of you.
