Do I need to enter 1099 DIV if they are under $1500?

I have 3 different 1099 DIV - only one is greater than $1500. Others are lower amounts.  Do all of them need to be entered?

The $1,500 reference:  If you are a dependent and had over $1,500 of ordinary dividends, you must file Schedule B (Form 1040A or 1040)Interest and Ordinary Dividends. It 

See the screenshots below for filing requirements.
