Filing Taxes with Spouse Who Came on A K1 Visa who now has GC

[Moracy90 0]

My husband came on a K1 visa in August 2019 and we got married the same month. He has received his green card as of Jan 2020. We are filing our taxes jointly, he has been unemployed since his arrival to the US. My question is this, when filing 2019 taxes, do I need to report that he worked part of 2019 in his home country of Nigeria and had a bank account there etc? I tried adding that we had foreign accounts while filing using turbotax but the questions it starts asking seem to be for me..not my husband so I answer no lol then I'm told I don't need to report any foreign income.

My husband came here on K1 in August 2019 but we married in October. He has not received his Green card yet but does have a SSN. I know I'm going to file married jointly but he has not worked yet and didn't make very much money at all while he still lived in England. So I'm wondering if I need to claim the little bit that he made and want to use Turbotax. I asked a tax accountant but he was unsure since it's been so long since he's dealt with immigration.
