Since your wife did not have any income to report on her own separate tax return, she should use one of the non-filer options to apply for her stimulus payment. See the information below for more details:
If you are not required to file a tax return and you do not fall into a category of taxpayer that will automatically receive a stimulus payment, you should register your information using one of the non-filer applications. This will generate a zero-income return to process your stimulus payment.
Those that do not need to register using the non-filer application include someone who is receiving Social Security retirement, disability (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or survivor benefits; Veteran’s benefits; or Railroad Retirement benefits.
You can either use the IRS registration tool for non-filers at this link: IRS Economic Impact Payments
Or you can use the TurboTax registration tool for non-filers at this link, by clicking the orange Register Now button: Get Your 2020 Stimulus Check
Do not use both options, only one is sufficient.
