I have two jobs, Can I file a tax return with just one of them?

I had two separate jobs for 2007. One the first 6 months, then the second the last 6 months. I did a "dummy" return online, just plugging in numbers to see how it would turn out when I do file. Its high for each return separately but together its a lot lower. For example, (not the actual #'s). Job A: 700, Job B: 500, Job A/B: 300. I don't get this! Can I just file a return with one job? I know for sure I could do one, but is this illegal? I'm thinking it's not b/c I don't owe anything....or maybe I do, b/c of the number differential?? Please help!

Don't do it...it is illegal not to claim all the money you made in the year and they will catch you, maybe not this year, but someday you will get audited....you even have to include money you made on side jobs and got payed in cash....Keep yourself out of jail and put everything down, I know it hurts, but it is the law.
Reply:Both employers, Job A and Job B are going to submit W-2 transmitals to the IRS. If I were you I would plug in both of them.
Reply:Do the right thing %26amp; file two tax returns. Don't borrow trouble. The IRS never loses.
Reply:u got 2 or 15 jobs in one year , u file ONE tax return with ALL incomes listed or u get visit from IRS thugs
Reply:You HAVE to file one return with the income of both jobs calculated together. Sorry, no way around this.
Reply:You have to file a return with both incomes. If you only use one and the IRS decides to audit your return you will be in BIG trouble.
Reply:No, no, no. You must file ONE return and include ALL income and W-2s.
Reply:The IRS gets income statements so even if you don't claim the job, they know about it. It's best never to lie to the IRS.
Reply:Sure, if you don't mind facing tax avasion penalties





just pay the darn tax like the rest of us
Reply:You need to file them both. The combination of the two is where you will get your Adjusted Gross Income. This is the overall amount that you will be required to pay taxes on, after your standard deduction and personal exemption. Good Luck! Happy Tax Season!
