Hi, My spouse made less than 10,000 this year, do we need to add her income to our joint tax return?

You absolutely must add your spouse's income to your joint return. All W-2's or 1099Misc. are reported to the IRS with your Social Security number on them. The income you report must match the information that the IRS gets.

Yes, you need to report all earned income to the IRS on your tax return.
