If you file a joint return with your wife, the unemployment is included in taxable income.
If you omitted the unemployment compensation, the IRS will eventually find the omission and will be contacting you if there is additional tax owed.
It would be a good idea to amend your return and add the unemployment compensation.
Your state return may need to be amended if your state taxes unemployment compensation.

Anything reported on a 1099 or W-2 must be reported on your return for matching purposes, even if it is not taxable. Unemployment compensation is taxable.

Yes, you must report unemployment income on your return. It is taxable. It may only be taxable by the Fed and not the state that pays it, you can look it up at www.irs.gov or your state's tax website.
