@JeanneAdil Thank you so much!

If that's the case, would I just re-state "my" income ONLY in form 8958, and put all amounts under my name and 0 under my spouse's allocation portion (and manually write NRA in SSN box)?  

Hi, I got married to my husband last May and we're in the process of waiting on our CR-1 visa.

I live in state of California, which is a community property state and it requires all people filing MFS to attach something called Form 8959.

I'm not sure if I need to complete this form given our status:

1. My husband is a non-resident alien who lived outside of US for the whole year (no SSN/ITIN)
2. We both work corporate jobs and don't have any joint income (no real estate or anything like that). My husband's job is in his home country and it's a non-US company. 

If I do need to file a form 8959, does that mean we need to disclose his income in his home country and pay tax on that too..? 

Please help - !
