Do i need to include my spouses income? Filing jointly

My spouse did not work most of last year. My income was around 40,000,  where as hers was around 3,500 last year. We are waiting on her W-2 from her previous employer, but I am just wondering if it is required to include this income with it being such a small amount? Just don't want to continue waiting for it if it isn't necessary, and also don't want to exclude it if it is. Thanks in advance.
