You and your husband have a partnership. You either file a partnership return now or you file two schedule C forms.

If you are filing a partnership return, you will have to adjust the numbers for ownership. If you are filing 2 schedule C's each year, you could just quit filing yours.

 

While you know if you are filing a partnership return or 2 schedule C's, not everybody may realize that the option for 2 schedule C's is limited by where you live. If you live in a community property state, you qualify for the 2 Schedule C's.

If you are not in a community property state, you are filing a partnership return, definitely.

 

@Rick19744 thanks for catching that this would be confusing to new folks without the edit.
