Do you need to fill all prior internships on background check or only those that you put on resume?

I completed an internship a few summers ago and left it off my resume because it wasn't applicable to the job I applied for. Do I need to put it down on my background check form or can I leave it off since it wasn't on my resume and I never spoke about it during interviews?

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“I had a really informative and actionable career roadmap with Tim. We went through what I wanted to do longterm and and then we went over the two different paths I was interested in. Tim gave me personal experience of colleagues that made similar steps to the sector that I want to be in. He then provided me with information on the timeline of I should expect when it comes to recruiting and what to do ahead of the time. There was a huge focus on getting a great resume fleshed out, networking with recruiters, current analysts, people who knew people who were hiring. There was a huge emphasis on getting the Series 65 that the company I'm currently working at done before continuing anything else. I look forward to working back with Tim on this endeavor around mid-November. ”

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“Great session. I was unsure about some changes that were suggested in the networking mastery course so I booked the LinkedIn review to get some guidance. I had worked with Jeppe before and we got along well so it was pleasant to collaborate again. I received all the information/guidance I was looking for.”
