I worked at a seasonal job for only 2 weeks and made less than $500. Am I required to enter that w2 on my taxes if Im married filing jointly and my husband has a separate income?

Yes, you are required to enter the W-2 on your tax return. You have to report all your income, no matter how little it is. The IRS gets a copy of your W-2. If you omit it from your tax return you will get a notice from the IRS about unreported income, and you will have to pay the additional tax you owe plus interest and penalties.
