The IRS requires you to report  all your income.

Having said that, if you don't report the 1099-B, the IRS may send you a notice of Proposed Increase in Taxes later this year. 

They will calculate the tax due (plus interest and penalties) and you can send them a check (no amended return necessary). On $19, the interest and penalties might total $2 to $4 at the most.
