Yes. You need to include the income from your seasonal job along with your regular earnings.

The following is taken from IRS Pub. 525 Taxable and Nontaxable Income:

"In most cases, you must include in gross in­come everything you receive in payment for personal services. In addition to wages, salar­ies, commissions, fees, and tips, this includes other forms of compensation such as fringe benefits and stock options.

You should receive a Form W­2 from your employer or former employer showing the pay you received for your services. Include all your pay on line 7 of Form 1040 or Form 1040A or on line 1 of Form 1040EZ, even if you don’t receive Form W­2, or you receive a Form W­2 that doesn’t include all pay that should be included on the Form W­2."
