No. There are many situations where a W-2 does not have social security
or medicare wages.

Is there any special notification needed on the 1040 so that the IRS
does not come after the client for unpaid SS & Medicare taxes?

It can be. When I was in grad school (early 80's) the rule
was that if the student work was a required part of a
degree program, it was exempt from FICA/Medicare. It was
deemed necessary to include an official-looking letter
from the school with the tax return.

I have no idea what the current rules/procedures are.

Default W-2 without Medicare or SS Tax for Students

I have gotten a few W-2s for students with wages and withholding in
boxes 1 & 2, but nothing in boxes 3 thru 6 for Mdeicare or Social
Security. Is this a special exception?
