Every W-2 that you received must be reported on your tax return, even if they are for small amounts.  Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer.  You do not want to get in trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income.

ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.  After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.

Of course, all income must be included.

I have been looking up some information and from.what i have been reading it says if you made less than $6500 you are not required to file taxes. So im confused because 2 of my w2 are less then that amount?

You are not understanding what you looked up. First of all, that is OLD information  Secondly  that referred to the TOTAL that you earned, not just "per W-2."   You MUST report all of your income.  If you do not, someday you are going to get a nasty letter from the IRS. The employers reported that income to the IRS with your Social Security number on it.  So the IRS will eventually match that with the amount that you report.

You are welcome.  It is VERY good that you asked instead of filing incorrectly
