Do I need to file a joint return if it’s only my income because my husband doesn’t get social security anymore??

You should file as Married Filing Jointly even if one spouse has little or no income.  You receive the highest standard deduction of $12,700 and you each receive a personal exemption of $4,050 (2017)
