Do I need to report my W2 wages if I earned less than $5,000 (box '1') and no federal taxes were taken out? I did have Medicare taxes taken out each check though.

EVERY W-2 (no matter the amount) MUST be included on the tax return if you are required to file one.  Failure to do so will result in an Audit letter in a year or two.

ALL of your combined income MUST be included on your joint tax return

Every 2021 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2021 tax return, even if they are for small amounts.  Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer.  You do not want to get in trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income.

ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.  

Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2.

After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.
