Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Not sure what you mean (or think you mean by "personal income" instead of "business income."   If your spouse received a 1099NEC for her work then she is an independent contractor.  The fact that the work was done for a non-profit is irrelevant.  

 

If she worked as an independent contractor, and did not receive a W-2 from which Social Security, Medicare and federal and state tax were withheld, then she has self-employment income.  She has to pay self-employment tax on that income for SS and Medicare, as well as ordinary tax to the federal and state governments.
