Self employed

No the W-2 does not prevent you from filing self-employed income.  You must include the W-2 though--you cannot skip entering it.   You will still prepare a Schedule C for the self-employment income and business expenses for the income gained through the self-employment. Many people have a combination of W-2 and self-employment income.
