You say "most of 2024". If you file MFJ then you both of you have to include world wide income. see pub 519 for complete info.

German citizen? Unless you are asking about Tax Treaty provisions, that has nothing to with the US tax return.
Have both spouses been US Citizens or US Resident Aliens for the entire year of 2024? If so, yes, filing Joint is one option that the clients have. If not, you need to find out a lot more about their residency status before anything can be done on a US tax return.
