My 1099-B shows an income of only $1.52 from sale of stock. Do I need to report an amount so small? Is there a minimum?

Yes, this is because IRS tries to match all the documents which you entered against the documents they received for you. Your brokerage would have send the IRS a copy of your 1099B and when they see that you have not entered it, a mismatch can occur causing delays.

While the amount seems very small, it is important to input all the information to avoid any delays.

while all trades are supposed to be reported, you gave us the gain. what about the sales proceeds because that's what the IRS will be looking for.
