Subject: question about "Filing status in 1040 form"

Dear friends:
  My friend is qualified for filing a form 1040, but her husband is still in
China. Can she file a "married filing joint reture" as her filing status?
  Since her husband dosen't have income in US, so she can only report her income
in the joint return form. Will that be fine?

  Any response will be great appreciated.

  Thank you very much!
