 Since this is for your farming/business income, you do not need to enter the 1099 itself.  You can just include it with your other income. 

 

You will need to get the issuer to correct the 1099 so the IRS is not looking for income from her.

Yes, you could. That is going to create additionally filing for you, but it would work.
