If I only worked for 3 weeks at a company do I still file a tax return for that job?

Yes, you do have to report this job, however small the W-2 income is, if you are required to file a tax return.

Please refer below to check if you have to file a tax return for 2016:

How were you and your children supported for most of the year if you only worked for three weeks?  Perhaps there is someone else who can claim all of you as dependents?

You file based on your total income for the year.

Every 2019 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2019 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.
