My wife's friend's husband died and she's been helping organize,sort and discard while her friend recovers from hip replacement surgery and her loss.

Your wife should report the income she received for this work as self-employment income, even if she did not receive a form 1099-MISC. In TurboTax, she should report the income as Other self-employed income.

Please read this Turbotax FAQ on how to report Other self-employed income:
