Since you and your wife both have a 1099-NEC - you are going to need to create 2 separate Schedule Cs.   One for you and your business expense.  And then a second one for your wife's 1099-nec and her expenses.    You should have 2 'lines of work' - your self-employment and her self-employment.   This way, your social security and Medicare taxes get credited to each of you instead of all going to one and the other getting nothing.  

 

When you enter the 1099-NECs - it will ask you ''who/which Schedule C this form belongs to'' -  hers should be linked to her Schedule C or your should be linked to yours.
