My situation is a bit unique so please bear with me:
1) In November 2020, I released some music. I generated slight revenue by year's end and have been paid royalties from it in 2021 so as I understand it now qualifies as business income.
2) In November 2021, I also started working for 3 different food/household goods delivery companies.
3) My spouse and I file jointly. She was self employed from 2018 - 2020 but her ability to work was affected due to COVID lockdowns as well as our daughter's school being closed so we claimed both credits for her. I was unsure if I could claim for myself as it asked which Schedule SE I used in 2019 which I didn't have due to no income.
With the facts stated above, would I be able to use my spouse's net income for 2020 to qualify for the credits this year (numerous COVID related situations occurred) or is it on an individual basis considering I started my business in 2020? It is a somewhat confusing topic and I'm going off what I read in this article - https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/credits-sick-family-leave-self-employed-who-qualifi...
