I file my tax return as "Married Filling Jointly". Where do I enter my wife's 1099-NEC income?

When you are entering income on a joint return, every income entry screen will either have a spot with both spouse’s names there, or when you click to enter a W-2, 1099R, etc. it will ask you by name which spouse it is for.  You do not have to wait for the software to “ask” you for your spouse’s income. Go to the screens to enter your spouse’s W-2’s, 1099’s, etc. just like you did for your own income.  Then look for your spouse’s name there.

To enter a 1099NEC:

Go to Federal>Wages and Income>1099Misc and Other Common Income>Income from Form 1099NEC

You will have to report your spouse's income from Form 1099-NEC on Schedule C. The good news is that she can deduct ordinary expenses that she incurred making this income (including business miles).  Follow the steps below to enter your spouse's income. When you are preparing a Married Filing Jointly return, TurboTax will ask you to select who the income belongs to.

1. Open TurboTax
2. Select Wages & Income
3. Select Business Income and Expenses (Schedule C)
4. TurboTax will guide you through interview screens to help you enter your income and expenses.
