I bought some mutual funds last year, but I did not receive any income from it. Do I still report it?

No...buying doesn't get reported until you sell.

IF..the funds had any year-end distributions, those show up on a 1099-DIV form that you will need to enter...but it depends on exactly when you bought them.....before or after their distribution record date. Check your mutual fund account for any of those forms.
