I am filing married jointly. do I need to add my wifes w2 if she makes less then $14000?

Yes. If you are required to file a Federal income tax return, you must include all taxable income for 2016 in that return. And for a joint return, that means the income for both spouses. There is no de minimum amount below which a W-2 does not have to be included.
