My wife did not receive a 1099 INT form. (checking and savings interest). This amt will barely be $30. Does this matter if omitted or should I contact the bank?

The amount of interest income should not be omitted, no matter how small.  It can be entered without having the actual Form 1099-INT by just including the bank name and interest amount as if it were reported in box 1.  

If you expect the amount was near $30, you should contact the bank for verification of the interest that was earned and to inquire about the Form 1099-INT.  The Form 1099-INT should be issued to you if the interest income is greater than $10.

Note also, that many people have now selected electronic paperwork only...and they usually need to log into their account to get their 1099-INT forms.   But generally, no 1099-INT will exist if it's less than $10...BUT, you still are supposed to enter the interest if it's 50cents or more in interest for the year.
