Question

I have three pages for [pii]. Two of the pages say W-2 and the last page says 1099-MISC. I don't know how to file this information.

Form W-2 is received from an employer who paid you a wage but also deducted from that wage social security, and federal payroll taxes. It possibly could include other benefits (counted as income) to you such as health insurance premiums, pension plans, retirement accounts and the like.  A W-2 may also indicate taxes paid to local municipalities and states as well.

A 1099-MISC is usually from someone who hired you but did not deduct any payroll taxes.  The income shown on all W-2s and 1099s should be declared as income on your federal income tax return.

You don't usually need to file these forms.  They are informational  and were sent by your employers to the IRS.
