Since Joseph only worked a few weeks in January and grossed only $317, can I(Brenda), file for head of household and claim Joseph as a dependent?

Are you related to Joseph? HOH rules are complex and the answer to your question depends on how you are related to the person.

You cannot claim a spouse as a dependent ever, and HOH is for unmarried persons.
File a joint return (which is better then HOH anyway). It does not matter if only one spouse had income, you each get an exemption.
