Need to speak to someone about Worker classification

I work at two universities they are not full time or part with no benefits. The job is hire to hire or casted just like an actor they treat us like contractors we receive W2.

Not sure what you mean by "worker classification" and what you think you need to enter about that on your tax return.  Do you have W-2's from those employers?  If so, you simply enter your W-2's into the software in Federal>Wages & Income.  After you enter the first W-2 you click on Add W-2 and enter the other one.

Yes, that doesn't sound like a very good deal for you, but in the world of tax, worker classification issues have to do with employees being treated like contractors and receiving a 1099-NEC instead of a W-2 form. 

 

Since you already receive a W-2 form, the worker classification program that the IRS has won't do anything for you. That program is focused on making the employer pay half of your Social Security and Medicare taxes, and issuing a W-2 when the worker is an employee.
