If you're concerned about decreasing your husband's return, you can always file Married, Filing Seperate instead of joint.

When you're married, all income is combined for a joint return, regardless of how much either spouse makes. If you earned $1,000 and your husband earned $30,000, your reported income will be $31,000. If you earned $15,000 and your husband earned $16,000, your combined income would still be $31,000. It's not relevant who earned how much.

Assuming that his income puts you over the filing limit already, even if you only made $1.00, it would need to be reported.
