Is there a limit to enter spouses W2?

I know if a dependent makes less than $6,300, I do not have to report it, but what about spouse, her total wages on a W2 was $2,902, do I still need to include this W2?

When filing as married filing jointly, you are required to report the total combined income.

Dependents aren't required to report income when earnings are under $6,300, because they aren't required to file a tax return. The same would be true, if you and your spouse weren't required to file a tax return. However, if you filed despite that fact, you would need to report all report all income.
