I just got a W-@ from 2 different jobs. I'm filing online ona free site. I've entered a W-2 form for each job, but now I have to do a 1040. Do I do a seperate 1040 for each job or do i just combine numbers from both jobs on one form?

If you are doing this online, it should explain thoroughly how to put the information into the 1040. If it doesn't, you need to get away from that website and find one that does explain thoroughly. I don't know what state you are in, but the IRS website has free filing for anyone with income under $52,000. I used it today, and have already filed my tax return electronically.

Drop down the page to where it says Start Here or Start Now. Also pick the one that says TurboTax Freedom or something like that. TurboTax will not let you go wrong, and you can file state and federal at the same time, free of charge.

You would put both w-2's in as your income. A 1040 is the tax form and it should walk you through step by step with what you need to enter.

Just combine everything on one form. There is a place, though that you have to list each W-2 and from who they were from. This way the IRS can track to see if you claimed each form. I know you are trying to cut corners, but the best thing you can do is spend a little and let someone else do your taxes. If you make a mistake the penilties are very stiff. If someone else does your taxes (a pro that is) and there is a mistake, they are responsible, not you. It's worth it. Been there, done that !

Just one Form 1040.

If you are having a hard time understanding the tax program you are using start over with another.
www.turbotax.com is very easy just follow the directions one step at a time.
As for entering your W2 info you will enter all of the info from one W2, it does not matter which one you do first. When you finish with one there is a step that says add another W2 click on the tab and add the info from the 2nd W2. The program will do all of the math for you.
Good luck

Employers have until January 31st to provide you with your W2s by law so you cannot do anything until then. At that point, you can ask the IRS how to proceed. Your 2006 year end paystub will give you the amount of income and taxes withheld if that's your only option to file.

Whatever you earned from your employers you lump together on one line. Then there is a line asking for interest (income), and investment (income), etc, etc.
If you're that uncomfortable, just go to an H&R Block or similar agency. It doesn't cost that much for your own peace of mind..

You combine the numbers onto one form.

combine both numbers as income and make sure to attach both W-2's to the form.
