Your 2016 tax return shows your 2016 Adjusted Gross Income  (AGI)  If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.

Form 1040EZ    line 4

Form 1040A       line 21

Form 1040        line 37

If you are using the same TT account that you used last year, you should also be able to find this number in your Tax Timeline for 2016

He claimed me as a dependent last year because I only worked a month or so the whole year. Do I still put the same number for both of us?

What?  A spouse cannot ever be claimed as a dependent.  You can file a joint return even if one of the spouses did  not work or have any income at all.  You still put the same AGI number of reach of you.
You do not “claim” a spouse as a dependent.  By filing as “Married Filing Jointly” you will each get the $4050 personal exemptions and the standard deduction of $12,700 for a married couple in 2017.
You can file a joint return even if one of the spouses had little or no income.
