Do i have to file my second job if it is under 2,000.00

I am filing under single status with no dependents. I have my main job claimed and i was wondering if I have to claim my second job where i made less than 2,000 dollars. if i do have to claim it and it goes down, why does it go down?

Yes, you need to report all of your income on your income tax return, if you are required to file a tax return.  If you are unsure as to whether you are required by the IRS to file a tax return, please see the following TurboTax FAQ to help you determine if it is necessary:

Yes, All income and All W-2's received in 2019 have to be entered on your 2019 tax return.
