So have a question that I saw a possible answer to here but it’s a bit of a different situation so maybe somebody can give me a more specific answer.
I got a part time barista job first. Max 20 hours a week. Then I was offered a full time, 40 hour a week, Monday through Friday admin position. Since I was anticipating quitting the barista job not long after accepting the admin job I put on my onboarding papers at the admin job that I do not have a second job. There is an overlap between the 2 jobs of about a week, only working 10 hours at the barista job and about 30 for the admin.
Now here is where the question comes in; I talked to my boss at the barista job and he said I can work weekends by picking up unclaimed shifts. I would be working at the most 7 hours a week at the coffee shop but likely even less with weeks I do not work there at all. Do I need to update the tax papers at the coffee shop to reflect that it is a second job? The admin job is definitely my primary job and the barista job second but would I be working enough hours at the coffee shop that it would even count for anything? Not including tips, I would be making less than or just about $100 a shift with tips bringing it up to maybe $150-$200 depending on how busy it is.
Thanks so much for any help sent my way and I can give more context if needed!

If you make over 35k but less than 65k at your main job, each week of the side income would result in about 12.00 of under withholding.
If a 400.00 or so tax bill at tax time is okay with you, you don’t have to do anything. If you would rather reduce any year end tax bill, you could add something like 10.00 a week of extra withholding at one job.
