Do i have to file both W2's if one is under $5000

If i had 2 jobs in 2016 and i made $2550 at one and made $38000. do i have to file my W2 where i made $2550 at my second job?

Yes, you must file all your income, regardless of the amount.  Even though the income at your second job is small, it affects your taxable income.

You must report all your income no matter how small.  Even $1 of bank interest you don't get a 1099INT for.  The IRS gets a copy of all the W2s and will be expecting to see it on your return.
