There is no pro-rating marriage. If you were married as of 12/31/20, you are considered married for the entire year for tax purposes. Even if you got married on New Year's Eve, for tax purposes you are considered married all 12 months of the year. And when you file a joint tax return, all of your incomes for the entire year is combined.
