Residential Rental income isn't reported as belonging to a "person"it's reported in the Rental & Royalty Income (SCH E) section of the program and all rental income/expenses will be on that SCH E. If you're filing a joint return, then when you initially set up that SCH E section of the program, you are asked to identify who owns that rental property; Be it you, your wife, or both of you.
Typically, if you're in a community property state, you just select "both of us". But regardless of who owns the rental property, when filing a joint return, the income is still "joint" as far as taxes go, on the federal return. (State returns could be a different matter)
