we are married filing jointly. can I enter information on a single schedule 1 for both spouses or should I file separate schedule 1 for each spouse. 

one spouse has business income to be entered on line 3 of schedule 1 (and schedule C and SE).

other spouse has other income from BOX 3 of I099-MISC to be entered on line 8 of schedule 1.

If you are "married, filing jointly", then you cannot have two Schedule 1s in the return.

 

If one spouse has business income, it gets reported on Schedule C and Schedule SE (not on Schedule 1).

You only have 1 Schedule 1 even for a Joint return.  The Schedule C will go to the same Schedule 1 as you.  

 

Schedule C goes to schedule 1 line 3 Business Income

Which gets added to 1040 line 8
