I had two seasonal part time jobs last year making less then 8,000 on both do I still have to fill them?

Oh----if you have another full-time job, you have to add all of your W-2's.   Do not leave any of them out.  Every 2024 W-2 you receive has to be on the same tax return.   All of those employers sent copies of the W-2's to the IRS with your SSN on them.  The IRS will make sure the income you report on your tax return matches what their system shows.

Did you get W2s or 1099NEC forms?  Are you a dependent on anyone's return?  Do you have any other income?   If you got a 1099NEC or 1099MISC you have to file it as self employment income no matter how small.  If you got W2s you might not have to file except to get back any withholding taken out in box 2 and 17.  But I would fill out a return and see if you have a refund or tax due.

 

Do you need to file a return?

You are below the filing threshold if that was your only income.   But if any federal or state tax was withheld, you can file a tax return to seek a refund of amounts in boxes 2 and 17 of your W-2's.

 

If you had other income in addition to the seasonal jobs, then you may be required to file.

 

Who has to file?

Oh then YES you have to report all your income on  your return.  You need to enter the new W2s.  You can't pick and choose or ignore one if it is low.
