Tax question - US citizen with non-resident alien spouse.
Hi, I am a US citizen who married a non-resident alien last November. I will be filing form 1040 as married filing jointly. My husband will include form W-7 for an ITN. Do I need to include his income even though it does not come from the US and, if so, how do I go about doing that? He is self-employed and pays taxes to his country - who's tax year begins July 1 and ends June 30. Thanks for any assistance.
