It depends. Was your wife a domestic servant working for a US host family? If so, was the income she earned more than $2300? If so, the host family should have filed a Schedule H reporting her income and then issue her a W2.
The best way to report her income without a W2 is to report it as Schedule C, self-employment income. Go to;
- Federal>wages and income
- Self-Employment>Self-employment income and expenses
- Complete the profile that asks about your business. This may not seem like a business but it is in the respect that FICA taxes need to be paid.
