My husband had 5 different jobs in 2006 and made $8,209.54 and out of that had $31.38 withheld for federal. Some jobs had no federal withheld. Do I have to file the jobs that had no $ withheld? We are filing a joint return and have two children. Thank you

Yes file ALL W-2's

Okay, here's how a W2 works. Your husband's Employer, (and yours if you also work) sends tax information to the IRS regarding how much you were paid, how much was taken out for taxes etc. The copy of the statement that the IRS receives that you have is the W2. The IRS will check to see that all of the information you use in filing your taxes matches what they have received. If there is a discrepancy, then they investigate. This does not necessarily mean you will be audited, as most discrepancies can be attributed to simple human error. However, you don't really want to take the chance. For more info on W2's see the IRS FAQ on them listed below!

If you are going to file a joint return, you need to include all of your husband's earnings on your return.
Why was there no withholding for the other jobs? Or, was he an employee for all these jobs, or was he paid as an independent contractor on some? If he was paid as an independent contractor, you will have additional issues with self-employment taxes.

yes the 8209.54 is still income and you need to combine that to get your taxable income.
If you work one job and make 20,000 or 20 jobs and make 1,000 each you still pay the same amount of tax at the end of the year.
you are going to run into problems as he did not get taxes withheld so you may have to pay in

I think you should try an on-line tax service. You may be able to get more back then you put in through earned income credit. I don't know how this works, I am in a very distant tax bracket. You must be good with money.

Yes. W-2 's are proof of income. To not show income is seen as possible "evasion". The government computers know how much your husband made, so failure to report may trigger an unnecessary audit.

If you don't like the guy, don't file. If you want him to remain a free man, file you must! (For all the jobs!)
