Based on the timing of our EAD submission, I anticipate that my husband will not secure employment until 2016.

He arrived on a K1 visa on July 1, 2015 and we married on July 24, 2015.

As the only person with an income, how do I file 2015 taxes?

Does he have to file anything?

Do it jointly in the part for his earnings everything is zero or N/A....depending if you do it online or through someone, or good ol paper. There is no benefit for you to file seperately.

Since there is no mention of kids involved, you either file Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) or Married Filing Separately (MFS). In this scenario, the MFJ status is the most beneficial since it allows the highest standard deduction.

File married jointly with the tax deductions for two people with one income should result in a nice return, unless he had foreign income in 2015, then you have to file that.
