As a consultant, your wife is/was self-employed. She must report her income and any expenses on Schedule C as part of her personal tax return. In order to deduct expenses (such as mileage) related to her income reported on Form 1099-MISC, you will need to use TurboTax Self-Employed if you are using the Online version. If you are using the desktop software, you can use Deluxe, but if you want the interview questions and step-by-step guidance for self-employment, you will need to upgrade to Home & Business. As for your questions:
- See Above
- Indicate "Cash"
- Indicate "Yes" she actually did the work, so she actively participated in the business.
- She may not "own the company", but she is self-employed, and her business is "Consulting". You should be able to click a box to use your home address as business address, if so, check it. If not, enter your home address as the business address.
