spouse and I now run diner together after 29 years as sole proprietor with single schedule c running it my self, now filing as joint venture this year and turbo tax auto filled spouse schedule c business address as our home address . we have employees so have had ein all along. Is spouse supposed to use same ein on schedule c to qualify employee wages expense. is it correct to file 2 schedule c's with same address and ein to qualify for same business deduction? Turbo tax just noted to use a different description of biz , no clarification of using same ein number to be able to expense labor, any insight?
