We get a different return depending on which box I check. The business is operated by me (the husband) because I actually deliver the papers with our kids. But the 1099 has my wife's name on it. So which box do I check - the one that says the business was operated by the taxpayer (me), or the business was operated by the spouse.

Since your wife's name and identifying numbers are the ones which appear on the 1099-MISC for this income, the IRS will consider that she is the one who operates the business.
