I have been working for 2 years vs I has been working for 2 years

The correct phrase is 'I have been working for 2 years.' The verb 'have' should agree with the subject 'I' in number, so 'have' is the correct form to use. 'Has' is the third person singular form of the verb 'have,' which is not appropriate for the subject 'I.'
