A couple entered US with EB5 visa (so called conditional green card) during 2023.

Wife entered US on 5/1/2023, need report her income from 5/1/2023-12/31/2023.

Husband entered US on 9/1/2023 and he needs report his income from 9/1/2023-12/31/2023

My question is that can they still file merried filing jointly with different time period during 2023?

If they file joingtly, can the husband only include his income for the period from 9/1 to 12/31/2023?

Or the husband need use the earlier entry date of his wife's 5/1/2023-12/31/2023 to report income?

Any suggestions would be very appreciated!
