Nope...you prepare one tax return with ALL your income on it.

 

When you get done entering one W-2, and any followup questions that follow it.... you will then be able to add another W-2 from the other employer.  Make sure you enter them both, separately....but into the same tax return.

You are only supposed to file your taxes once..with everything in it.     There is away to correct a mis-filed tax return at later date (by "amending" the original) , but that requires mail-filing of the amended data and can take several months for the IRS to process....and...and you have to wait for the original to be processed before you can "Amend".
