It asks "Did YOU make any money outside the U.S." I didn't but my immigrant husband did before he got here last year. Since I'm filing jointly, do I need to report it?

He has not made any income since coming here. I'm confused because the first section specified "did you or your spouse..." in all the questions, but this section only asks "Did you...".

Yes.  If you are filing jointly you will need to include your spouse's worldwide income in your US tax return and it will be subject to US taxes.  If your spouse is a nonresident alien, you can treat your spouse as a nonresident alien for tax purposes. You will not have to include your spouse’s non-US income on your U.S. tax return. You will have to use the filing status of Married Filing Separately.
