Hi I work at 2 places last year but have only gotten 1 w-2 I really need money now can I file taxes twice? I have 4 dependants

NO.  All  of your W-2's need to go on the SAME tax return.  Employers have until January 31 to issue W-2's.  If you file only one now and try to file the other ones later, you will create a mess for yourself.  You would have to amend your tax return--a process that takes 2-4 months to accomplish, and all that time you would be waiting for the rest of your refund.

Hi, I have the same issue, but what I'm waiting for is the form 1098T. I have all my W2's. What is the tax amendment about, and how do I go about it?

An amendment is what you file when you have a mistake or something missing from your return when you file it.  You can wait for all the necessary information to come in by the end of January and file accurately.  OR you can hurry up and file incorrectly and incompletely and then go through the amendment process which takes about 4 months.

The 1098T won't come in for another 2-3 weeks. Thank you
