The only requirement is that you be married on Dec 31st of the tax year in question.

You also both have to agree to file jointly, meaning you both have to sign the tax return.

You have to be married as of the end of the year, and you each have to have a social security number or ITIN. If you meet those requiremements, you can file a joint return even if only one of you has income.
