I am contractor and receive a 1099 under my SSN. My spouse helps out in a meaningful way doing paper work. However, she is not issued a 1099 as her work is to support the work I do in terms of paperwork and billing. We file jointly and she has no income. Can I issue her a 1099 for the work she does? I am thinking of two benefits below.
1. This allows her to out some money away for retirement.
2. She can have income for social security
