Do I need to file a W2 on my taxes for a job I was paid for only one day? I think my paycheck was $24 and some change. Would it be worth it?

Yes, you are required to include ALL of your income when filing your tax return.    Wait until you have both W-2s before you file.   If you do not include all of your W-2s, your tax return processing could be delayed, or you may have to file an amendment, and you do not want either of those.

If that was your only income it's below the threshold for filing. if you need to file YES. Your return would likely be rejected for that missing w-2. even if it somehow got accepted at some later date, you may get a notice from the iRS about that missing W-2.

I do have a full time and this was a part time job. That's why I'm debating if this is worth me waiting for. Sorry, I thought I had mentioned I have a full time job.
