You may need to adjust your income to comply with your state community property rules. According to the IRS, you need to adjust your income for community property purposes if you are married and file a separate return. So, since you are not filing jointly with your spouse, you would need to comply with your state community property rules to determine if and how to adjust your income.
It would depend on your state community property rules as to the taxability of income reported on a 1099 form, and also the type of 1099 income you are referring to. If you can clarify what state you live in and the type of 1099 income you have we may be able to help you better.
