That sounds like if you are a single member LLC then it would still end up on your Schedule C on your personal return. If it is not a single member LLC you need to discuss the legal and financial implications of being a corporation and filing a 1120 or if you should elect the 2553 and be treated as an S-corp for an 1120-s.

 

As far as the income for your LLC earned by your wife:

 

The income she earns on behalf of your LLC should not have her name on it. It should only be the LLC. 

She would then still be a schedule C and receive a 1099 from your LLC only for her commission earned.

 

There are a number of both legal and tax implications of changing the structure of your business, but that would be better handled by a legal professional. As you mention there are other items such as PPP to consider. There is a great reference on the Small Business IRS site that talks about  Married Couples in Business
