My wife and I file jointly. We have earned small honorariums in the range $200-500 for a total of $1700. We did not receive 1099-MISC etc. Should we report them? how?

These honorariums are for talks at local public libraries and university, and are in addition to our W-2s income

The honorariums are taxable income unless they are reimbursements for expenses you incurred.

 

To find the section to enter your honorariums, click the "magnifying glass Search" icon on the top row, enter "miscellaneous income" in the search window and press return or enter, and then click on the "Jump to miscellaneous income" link to enter your honorarium in the section "Other Reportable Income" (last line in that section).
